Hi, I was playing around with ghc again, and I was wondering what makes the executables so large and how I could make them smaller (strip works, but is there anything more I can do?) More specifically, I am compiling a program that uses the GTK+ bindings, HDBC, and some things from Prelude. The program simply displays a window, and reads and writes values from/into a data base file. Not much, really. Anyway, the program size is 20MB without stripping, and 10MB after stripping ... Any hints? Thanks and good night for now .. Christian
