Is there a strip program for Linux? Well I'm using Ubuntu and installed 9.26-4 from the repositories, and having no idea where everything installed to I just did a search of my entire drive for "strip". The only program found was in a non-FPC specific directory and using it had no effect on the size of my app. The app is compiled for GTK2, and is smaller than the default windows binary (11mb vs 2.7mb), but the Windows binary can be stripped to 1.3mb. While size isn't everything, I'm just wondering if ~3mb for a very simplistic, 1 form app seems right on Linux (in regards to Lazarus apps) as I've never dealt with developing apps for it before. -------------- next part --------------

it should be /usr/bin/strip but you probably haven't got it installed so install it first

u need to install binutils to get strip
Yeah I have /usr/bin/strip; I thought that the strip was Lazarus / FPC - specific. Guess not. Anyway, running that on my app leaves still so I guess that's as small as it's going to get. Thanks for the info
