No, It isn't. We must tell the linker to link splited objects. -split-objs option generates it in (OutputDir)/(ModuleName)_split directory per moudles. You can see that your own directory or below cabal code. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/Cabal/src/Distribution-Simple-GHC.html#getHaskellObjects (OutputDir)/(ModuleName)_split directory has ld.script that describe just INPUT(...). So, I think we must pass that per modules. >> Current wxHaskell generates big binary. So I think this is important task, >> too. > > wxhaskell has a --enable-upx flag. Would that be good enough? No, that wouldn't. I want to say about executable file, not about library file. This flag and --enable-strip flag mean that using upx to compress wxc library. But I doesn't affect to generate Haskell program size. If we want to do it, to use -split-objs for spliting the single object file, to use -f* options (I don't know this is good for wxHaskell or not), or to use strip for Haskell program. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/options-phases.html#options-linker http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/options-optimise.html#options-f http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/smaller.html -- shelarcy <shelarcy hotmail.co.jp> http://page.freett.com/shelarcy/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
