What is your problem with the size of the ide ? I have no problems with big ide's
Yes there is a problem. I have old notebook for linux, and it was noticeable. I've checked, on windows exe was 290mb!!
Think about those who run lazarus on arm boards, or from usb thumb drives.
You can go to menu Tools and then Configure "Build Lazarus..." ...
Thanks, I'm pretty newbie to lazarus, had not know about this menu.
"Normal IDE" is compiled with -g -gl and without -Xs, so you have to strip it manually. I don't understand why it is compiled with debug information (and so run time LCL and other packages), as there is "Debug IDE" option. Especially when -g option is not compatible with FpDebug, which is the default in Lazarus 2.2.0.
You absolutely right. I think it should be filed as a bug.
