Wow, using Linux 'strip -v bin/*' cuts the bin directory from 16M to 9.3M! After UPX, it's down to 3.9M (compare to 7.8MB below). Any other tips? :) > What's your current size? This is the size compressed with UPX, but the language files aren't compressed (the way I mentioned in my original post). $ du -hcs ??? manifest/ share/ 7.8M bin 44K etc 752K lib 56K manifest/ 24M share/ <--- giant local files 33M total The numbers above are for GTK 2.16.6 downloaded as binary from http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html .
