Re: EXE Size

Hi Group,
I just installed Euphoria and lcc-32 on a new development system. As a test I tried to compile the IDE and it had a bunch of errors (language files ?) but did create a 6 MB .exe file. When I tried to run it, I got an out of memory error.
I then tried to compile the tabcontrol2 demo and it was 1,111,072 bytes. When I had Euphoria install on my old machine, I was able to compile the IDE and most Windows programs were pretty small.
What am I doing wrong?
Running the programs with the interpreter works fine.
The IDE is a massive program. 6MB is about what I get when building with Watcom. lcc-32 has some issues, I think (I've never used it). I'd recommend using either Watcom or Borland.
I think it is very sensitive with respect to the location of the language files, but I don't know enough about the internals to offer more help than that.
Matt
