how to remove debugging symbols from project

[Dr deo]

hi,
i finished a project recently but the size of the executable is still big due
to debugging symbols. How can i remove them without resorting to command line
tools like strip.exe (i found this in the directory c:\dev-cpp\bin and i
managed to get it to do the job)

-g0 as a compile option is the old fashioned way.

Tangential trivia...

Keep in mind that code compiled for speed may in fact also be larger due to
inlining of functions / unrolling of loops etc.

You can also do a strip of the symbol table from the compile option front, I
beleive

-s

is the way it is invoked, but it has been a long time, and I am old
and short of memory
