Did you check how big are other widely used cross-platform frameworks? 1> Java -> Something like 50MB for Windows 2> Qt -> The bare minimum installer which I managed to obtain for a Mac OS X LCL-Qt application was 28MB http://sourceforge.net/projects/magnifier/files/magnifier%20for%20Mac%20OS%20X/3.3.2/ And that's zipped. Now I switched to LCL-Carbon and the size of the installer went down to 1,6MB http://sourceforge.net/projects/magnifier/files/magnifier%20for%20Mac%20OS%20X/3.6/ 3> Gtk. I'd say at least 100MB for all the crap it brings in But your post was indeed useful. I was already since some time worried about the LCL-CustomDrawn-Android file size and I installed Cody and it helped me chop off 2MB out of the file size due to units wrongly added to the uses clause. It is still 2x bigger then the same project built against LCL-CustomDrawn-X11, which is very strange, since the source code is nearly identical. Maybe smartlinking for arm is much worse then for x86? -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
