[Mingw-users] Strange file size

[<mi...@ca...>]

Hello!

I have a strange situation.

I have this files in my project:

2003-05-21  20:51               31 365 test.cpp
2003-05-21  23:13               49 533 test.o
2003-05-21  23:13              499 876 test.dll
2003-05-21  23:13                4 452 libstdll.a
2003-05-12  15:05                   87 test.def
2003-05-21  19:46                  218 Makefile
2003-05-16  23:02                   44 test.bat
2003-05-21  20:07                  311 file.txt


The problem is the really big dll file.
I cant say what made the dll-file this big. It was something I did in the code that made it go from  <100000 to 500000.
When I strip this dll I get a file that is 245760 bytes big, but thats nothing compared to the small dll I had previously. (It was
below 50k).


This is my makefile, maybe there is a clue in here:

all:
    g++ -c -DBUILD_DLL -fexceptions test.cpp -o test.o
    dllwrap --output-lib=libstdll.a --dllname=test.dll --driver-name=g++ --def=test.def --entry _DllMain --add_stdcall_alias
test.o -lole32  -loleaut32 -lwsock32

Am I doing this in the right way?

I cannot put the test.cpp file here, but since the compilation of it resulted in 49533 bytes, it feels very unlikely that the
contents in the cpp-file can affect the
dll size this much.

The def-file however:

EXPORTS
        DllRegisterServer
        DllUnregisterServer
        DllGetClassObject
        DllCanUnloadNow



Any suggestions?
What was magically causing this big dll size?

Any comments appreciated!
Maybe reinstalling mingw can be it?
