Re: Optimizing size of executable

Speaking for Phix rather than Euphoria:
The smallest executable Phix generates is about 220K.
Most of that is from having a full diagnostic system linked in.
The 32-bit compiler is about 2.1MB and the 64-bit compiler is about 3.3MB.
The only thing bigger that I have is Judith's IDE, at about 6.6MB, and that thing is alot of source code.
In Phix/Euphoria when I add ?9/0 I get a proper human readable error message with a filename and source line number, and a full ex.err file.
Can the same be said of Chicken Scheme? [Genuinely asking, I don't know]
Have you any sizes for larger apps in Chicken Scheme?
I would be quite surprised if things continue at a ratio of 15:1
