Hi,

can you help me reduce the size of the executable generated with DJGPP ?

I read the FAQ,

there says that redefine a couple of procedures with empty content would
reduce the size but it continues the same,

there also say that I should use the "-s" with the linker, I use RHIDE, and
I set, Options/Linker Options and I added "-s" but then many errors about
assembler appears, I tryied with "-S" and the size reduced a little.

I got a big reduce when I compressed the program with DJP.exe, but I am
interested in optimizations and size_save from the compiler/linker.

now I am not using Allegro, but help about how to reduce the size of allegro
programs would be useful too.
