OUCH! My test application created in Lazarus contains a single small form with two edit boxes and two buttons. THe code behind each button is 3-4 lines each invoking MD5 functions. I was intrigued by the location of the executable shown in the messages box: /root/tmp/project1 So I decided to go there and have a look at the file itself. This is what I found (had to do sudo su to be allowed to view this location): -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24493881 Oct 3 21:35 project1 So this little program is 24.5 Mbytes in size! Amazing and no wonder the MD5 calculation takes such a long time! Why is FPC producing such an incredibly big program file? And why is Lazarus running as root? I would have believed it was using the Pi user rather than root? (Maybe this is a Lazarus question rather than FPC). -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
