Question and Answer Database FAQ1394C.txt DLL sizes in C++Builder and Delphi Category :Linker Platform :All Product :C++Builder 1.x Question: Why are DLL's created with BCB so large compared to Delphi? Answer: There are a lot of reasons (exception handling code, RTTI, etc.) but the main reason is this release of C++Builder links in more .LIBs than necessary. One way to workaround this is you want is the make the following change to the projects Make file. Locate the "ALLLIB" line and delete the VCL.LIB from the line. Then change CP32MT.LIB to CW32MT.LIB. Now your ALLIB line should look like this: ALLLIB = $(LIBFILES) import32.lib cw32mt.lib Now do a Build All and rebuild your project. Assuming you didn't receive any unresolved externals, your application should be about 50K smaller. 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
