Yes but this way, we have every time we build something faster link-time, which is essential because we do it continuously, and when we are done we use strip (and then upx) and we get smaller executables easily...

By doing this you will lose the benefits of smartlinking, i.e. executables about 30% smaller. This is a exchange. With smartlinking the executable is smaller, without, the linker is faster. There is a study about this here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/File_size_and_smartlinking -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
