Ok, after recompiling gtk again and hiding gtk-0.11.0 (which was still monolithic), it worked.
Good.
The executable is now, after stripping, a mere 2.7MB in size (which is still large for what it does, but much better).
Well, the executable contains the runtime, so it's naturally much larger than a small C programme. Compare with $ cat helloWorld.hs module Main (main) where main :: IO () main = putStrLn "Hello, World!" $ ghc --make helloWorld.hs [1 of 1] Compiling Main ( helloWorld.hs, helloWorld.o ) Linking helloWorld ... $ ls -l helloWorld -rwxr-xr-x 1 dafis users 618581 17. Okt 13:53 helloWorld I suppose on a 64-bit system, you get about twice the numbers, so 2.7MB for a programme using gtk isn't exorbitant.
Thanks to all who answered for your help!
