I have a lib mylib.a (20 kb) which I want to link with my application. My application gets 20 kb bigger as soon as I link it with mylib.a without any function being called from mylib.a. It seems to me that I have built mylib.a so that the whole lib is linked during linking process even if no one method is being called. Now my question is which flag should I use to build mylib.a so that only those functions are linked which are being called. If no function is called then linking mylib.a shouldn't affect the size of my application. Thanks for help. regards /Mohammad -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
