Tobias, When I compile the IDE with Carbon I get an executable of 84.5MB. If I run strip on it, this shrinks it to 13.2MB. You can achieve similar reduction without using strip simply by unchecking the -gl switch on the Linker tab. In both cases, the shrunken executable won't have the useful line number information. For now, I always leave this switch checked.
Thanks. -Phil -----Original Message----- From: Tobias Giesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 11/6/2007 6:09 PM To: lazarus@miraclec.com Subject: [lazarus] compiled file size on OS X Hello, I noticed that my compiled Lazarus programs are huge. I assume they contain debug info or something else that can be stripped. Interestingly, GNU DB debug info is not checked on the Linker tab sheet, but I can debug anyway, within Lazarus. How can I get the binaries smaller? Thanks.
