Hi,everyone. I am new here. I have a problem. Today, I compile a gcc4.1.2 with mingw in WINXP. I do not know the configure clearly, but I do a success. When I use g++ compile a "Helloworld",I surprisingly find that the exe is so big(3.55M). I compile it like that :"g++ HelloWorld.cpp -o HelloWorld" and without "-g" but gdb can really load it, and when I use gdb load it ,I find it has 748 lines.So many. How can I compile a g++ like mingw , only product xxxkb... I hope you can help me! Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Why-do-g%2B%2B-compile-a-so-big-exe--tp24667450p24667450.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
