Windows build

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for all your hard work on such a great tool!

Now to the question. I managed to build the 2.8.0 release from sources for Win32 (using MinGW) but I'm trying to figure out why my build is quite large, ~32MB, compared to the official Windows build coming in around 5MB. This is for the executable but I'm also seeing larger gimp dlls.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help you are able to provide!

Best regards,

Jari Niskala

FYI, the only configure flag I used was to disable python.

The "official" builds are stripped to external .debug files. If you don't care about debug information, you can just run strip on executables and DLLs, or you could just move the debug info to separate files with these two commands (run them from the root of install prefix):

find \( -iname '*.dll' -or -iname '*.exe' -or -iname '*.pyd' \) -type f -exec x86_64-w64-mingw32-objcopy -v --only-keep-debug '{}' '{}'.debug \; find \( -iname '*.dll' -or -iname '*.exe' -or -iname '*.pyd' \) -type f -exec x86_64-w64-mingw32-objcopy -v --add-gnu-debuglink='{}'.debug '{}' --strip-unneeded \;
