why was rebuilded lazarus.exe file size increased tenfold?
(1/1)
bd4kc:
Why was it only a few dozen MB when it was first installed, and after the package was installed, the rebuilded lazarus.exe the file size to 260MB.
lucamar:
Because you rebuilt it with debug info turned on? ;)

Oh! I also thought that the IDE built itself, and that it should make its own decisions.Forget that the ide itself can be debugged.
wp:
You can run the "strip" utility (which is in the fpc/bin folder) against the lazarus.exe to remove the debug info.

This is done to prevent illegal redistribution of Lazarus IDE using floppy disks O:-)
