size of compiled exe

[Nerek]

Hi

first of all thanks to you guys ! I had quite a lot of problem to manage compiling DC++ but all the solutions were here

I still have a small question : my compiled DC++ size is 3meg !
How do you do to have an exe of 600K ?

thanks

Build a Release binary instead of a Debug one. There should be a dropdown one of the default toolbars that shows which EXE you're building.

And, if you want to get it smaller (and aren't using VS.NET 2003, which seems to have something odd in its PE header), get UPX (google) and run "upx --best DCPlusPlus.exe" on it from a prompt.

Thanks, i was compiling in debug mode you were right. i found out were to change that.

I'm definitely not used to VS
