Re: [Dev-C++] Compiler's Use of Memory

This is from the faq,
6. The EXE files created are huge. What can i do to reduce the size ?

If you want to reduce your exe file size from 330 Ko to 12 Ko for example,
go to compiler options. Then click on the Linker page and uncheck "Generate
debug information". This will remove debugging information (if you want to
debug, uncheck it). You can also click on Optimization page and check "Best
optimization".
