I've noticed that using the mingw32 cross compiler under debian seems to generate exe files much larger than if I compile under windows.
in the order of 11K to 250K which is fairly significant for a very simple program with 800B of source code! Does anyone know why this might be, or if there are settings which might affect compiled file size? I could probably provide objdump comparisons, but not at the moment, since windows is at work. cheers dc -------------------------------------------------------- But, with very few exceptions, it is the composers of the tunes, not the writers of the words, which have made our English hymns famous.
