Though I dont think 700 kb is something that must one bother about :) strip --strip-debug executable_file_name or strip --strip-all executable_file_name The second may result in smaller executable but it strips the relocation info also which may not be a good option on Windows. Also if the program uses C++ one may disable the suport for C++ exceptions which will decrease the file size too. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
