Mystery of the executable size

<< < (3/3)

Krice:
I ended up compiling with MSVC which had its own issues, but the resulted .exe is 250Kb. I was a bit uncomfortable with GCC license problems, although I don't think they are after some obscure freeware software. MSVC build obviously requires .dll files, but I think the redistributable package is usually already installed anyways. I quite dislike the legal text of GCC or GPL license, because it's not easy to even understand what you can actually do.

You can try clang, which can be found in some versions of WinLibs. clang has different license, as far as I know. However situation with exe size/dll`s will be the same.
