Title: exe Size
Post by: TyDX on June 05, 2013, 02:29:37 am

Hi guys.

I've compiled a very simple C++ program. 35 lines of code in both Code::Blocks and VS 2010.

The exe generated by Visual Studio is 85Kb and the one generated by CB is 945Kb.

Both IDEs using default settings.

Anything I need to set in Code::Blocks to reduce the exe size?

Thanks in advance.

Ty.

The setting depends on the Compiler used.

Read the CB FAQ is NOT

So I need to find out how to improve this in MinGW?
