Can't use LLVM in debug mode, but not using it in production either - the "experimental" moniker scares me a little.
This is targeting only ARM7. ARM6+ARM7 in debug creates a 60.4MB executable. Release build is 9.6MB for the same configuration. Using LLVM that cuts to 8.9MB, but it's really Debug I am worried about as if it gets too much bigger, it will fail to load and thus I won't be able to debug it. And yes - it's just the Unix file, not the entire app. And I'll keep the virtual beer in mind - thanx ;) -----Original Message----- From: Nic Wise [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 15:22 To: Dean Cleaver Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MonoTouch] Executable size Are you using LLVM? Can you make it only target Armv7 (not 6+7) and possibly only thumb? How big is a release build? vrs a debug build? Is the 30meg the unix exe (ie, inside the .app, there is a file...) or are you talking about the .app? outside of that, I think you need to buy Sebastian a virtual beer or 2 :) He being Mr Linker and all...
