But the files are enormous.
Which files are enormous?
This brings up another question. Would it be interesting to release a
stripped lazarus installer? I mean only the FPC compiler and the rest all
sources? You just simply install and invoke make clean all. Voila, you
have an installer that will be about 30% smaller.
Yes, that would make sense. That is what I meant with source based
installer on http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/User:Vincent/todo_list
You can even ask whether to include debug info for RTL, FCL, LCL or not.
Same applies for some of the tools, docs, tests, debian (did I forget any)
dirs.
You can give the user an option to create cross compilers, at least to
targets without need for internal linkers.
Exactly my idea
I welcome patches and extensions in this direction.
Shure I'm willing to help. I could make a new source installer to start with
(win32_src). We can add functionalty as we go. It's not only this installer,
but the binary installers could also be made a little bit leaner. Like
mentioned above there is stuff included that is never used by users but only
devels use. Do we want to keep including that?
