[Haskell-cafe] Reducing the executable output filesize with GHC (on Windows)

[Peter Verswyvelen]

I remember having read how to do this a while ago, but I can't google it
back.

 

How can I force the linker to exclude all the sections that are not
referenced? I thought it had to do something with -split-objs?

 

I've written a short consolemode program, but it compiles to 1.3MB. Since I
will be creating a lot of these small apps, surely this filesize can be
reduced?

 

Thanks,

Peter

 

PS: The program I wrote is 250 lines of code. It is a simple vectormath
exercise generator for my students which I wrote in 5 hours,  something I
would never been able to do in C++/C#, even though I have much more
experience in the latter languages.  Haskell's sooo nice, and I'm just
scratching the surface of it. Thank to all of you guys for the hard work J
