Hi, I'm facing a linker LME error and therefore I'm trying to make my libs smaller. Their current size is over 20MB (one is 50 MB and another one 100MB). So I'd like to know what makes a library big ? and how can I make my library size smaller ? I'm trying to decrease the number of classes defined in each library but is it really an issue ? My libs do not contain a lot of classes less than 50 but I'm using lots of template classes which (I suppose) make the actual number of classes much bigger than 50. I also use a lot the STL. Any kind of inofrmation/help would be greatly appreciated Thank you Back to top vavan Guest Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 4:02 pm    Post subject: Re: What makes library big ?

Is that true? If it is true, what's the status on that? - Dennis Back to top Andreas Hausladen Guest Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 1:31 am    Post subject: Re: What makes library big ? vavan wrote: Quote: basically ulink is backward-compatible with ilink in most aspects Where can I file a bugreport? if I specify "-L..\.." or "-L.." in a response file, ulink.exe fails with UniLink v1.03 [beta] ( EXPIRED ) (build 27.05) Illegal option value: '-L..\..' in response file -- Regards, Andreas Hausladen (http://andy.jgknet.de/blog) Back to top vavan Guest Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 8:10 am    Post subject: Re: What makes library big ?
