The key concept is "stripped". That means removing all fltk string function symbols. This is an overhead that your compiler uses for its linking which is mostly text information. The stripping can be done automatically when your static lib is linked to a executable by your compiler. If not done when the executable is created, most OSes have a way to strip symbols afterwards. On Unix, the utility is called "strip", for example. Link libfltk.a to some executable and then run "strip" on it. Note that for dynamic libs, this overhead must remain for your os to be able to use the dso or dll, so you cannot strip libfltk.so. -- Gonzalo Garramuño [EMAIL PROTECTED] AMD4400 - ASUS48N-E GeForce7300GT Kubuntu Edgy _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
