| Issue |
We have a application that was recompiled with minor fixes. The original was approx 500K in size, the newly built app is now about 1.7Megs in size. Why is this so big? |
| Solution |
Check your makefile as you likly have debuging information compiled into your application. The switch you are going to look for in the makefile is -g[1-3].
To remove the debugging information use the utility wstrip.
usage: wstrip [application]
More information on wstrip can be found in the Watcom documentation. |
