If GCC, did you strip out the debug info?
What? Could you explain more?
You are complaing about size and seriously don't understand what "stripping symbols" means? Well - than you really shouldn't care about the size because everything you might try won't work anyways.
However what annoys me once more is that this has been discussed literally a million times in this forum even though it's
not related to Code::Blocks. Thus this threads violates our forum rules two times: Not related to C::B and not searched before.
I am locking this topic now.
