linux lib is huge (12.4mb)

[TurkeyMan]

I can't see -Os anywhere, and also -ggdb is probably adding a lot to the size unnecessarily.
glsl_optimizer seems to have a debug/release distinction, building release by default, which produces a small lib.
I suggest doing that here too.

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release will switch cmake into release mode. Really the -ggdb isn't needed and should be removed.. using the cmake build type will handle all of that.. possible values are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, RelMinSize

"Maybe"? I'm not maintaining the linux builds (have never even tried if they work).
