Whoa. Poseidon uses DWT and it's a *little* bit smaller.
Yes, indeed. I wonder if UPX was used. What is the difference? Is it just that the old DWT uses less modules?

Does it use old DWT? And what are you writing I wonder? A photoshop?

Poseidon uses the SWT port from Shawn. I am talking about a simple test apps. The structure of SWT make every app to pull in a big part of the SWT lib.

I use dsss to build a simple jface program (just one module), it takes more than 800 obj files (modules), the executable size is 15 MB. ( dwt-win svn, dwt-addons svn). Does all 800 modules must compile in the simple jface program ? btw, seems impossible to build a jface program by dmd directly. -- yidabu <yidabu.spam gmail.com> http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwin D ÓïÑÔ-ÖÐÎÄ(D Chinese): http://www.d-programming-language-china.org/ http://bbs.d-programming-language-china.org/ http://dwin.d-programming-language-china.org/ http://scite4d.d-programming-language-china.org/

You will need a response file to pass the arguements to DMD. The windows comand line is restricted to 8192 characters. The build tools like DSSS/bud should do this by default.

Also, if you opt to not to link in the DWT library, and use the DWT sources directly, rebuild/bud should mange the .obj dependencies for you. That should result in a smaller executable size, at the cost of a longer compile. - Pragma
