If I create a shared library with this source code, the lib file has a size of 368806 bytes. Can I do anything to reduce the size.

library u;
Procedure Test;
Begin
WriteLn('------- Test OK --------');
End;

exports
Test;
end.

Try the 'strip' command. I know it works with executables, not sure about libraries. It is included in the FPC bin directory.

eg: strip <library name>

Have you tried smart linking? I don't know if it works for libraries though ...

fpc -XX ...
