I did some tests here and I guess this is simply the normal size of an app if you use ComCtrls. 1,5MB was for a minimal app with a form and some buttons. ComCtrls alone adds 1MB You can check this in the menu Project->Show used ppu files (might be 0.9.31+ only).
Still I find it a quite small size for our days. If you were using Gtk2 directly then your Windows build would have 150MB or something like that =) About Delphi 7, remember that it is a single-platform toolkit which just wraps the Windows API for most of what it does and is from 10 years ago. The LCL has it's own code to load image files in many formats for example. A minimal HD these days has 250GB, so it is unlikely that a program which uses 0,001% of the HD will make any difference. The iPhone SDK size is 4GB (they make you download XCode again even if you already have it), now that's big =) Actually big enough to potentially push me over my internet limit =( A cheap Android HTC Wildfire phone comes with 2GB of storage, so even there your app is still aprox. 0,1% of the space =) -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
