Subject says it all: Why is the libc DLL not stripped on potato systems? It enlarges *every* executable (linked dynamically!) by about 100k Long Story: I compiled a short gtk program that I wrote as an example to learn gtk programming on a potato system. The executable (linked dynamically, stripped) was > 100k in size. Then I transferred the program to a slink system, compiled again, using the same Makefile and presto, the size of the executable shrank to 7k stripped, a much more reasonable size. After much searching around I compiled the simplest hello world program on the potato machine. source code like this: ------------------------------------------------------------- #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { printf("Hi folks\n"); } ------------------------------------------------------------- again > 100k in size. I doubt this is not a bug. Nils -- Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time. To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
