It's over 22M while static build is just 9M. I though the dynStatic build come without MFC dll, which shall make it smaller. If it's even bigger than I static link with MFC dll, there is no reason to use it. Did I build in a wrong way or there is something wrong with the toolkit? |

no. I used the default deploy wizard to compile. Doesn't anyone notice this ?

Hello, Compare result exectables. Lib files contain a lot of internal links/symbols. |

Sorry to bump. The result I got with same application: 1. Compile with shared MFC lib 1328KB It's more strange that share MFC link even larger than static link. |

The size went up drastically with version 9.70. My release build executable using dynStatic library increased in size by over 700k just by changing from v9.601 to v9.70. This seems out of proportion to the features added. |

I noticed there seems to be a bug in 9.70 regarding the #defines XT_STATICLINK and _XT_STATICLINK. So every time I compile my app with static XTP, it also generates an .exp and .lib file and of course all the XTP symbols are there by name in the .exe for exporting... This probably explains the bigger size. I hope Codejock fixes this problem for the next release, it's a bit annoying.. |

jeffcmj, Barto you was right, it was our bug with exporting symbols. Was fixed for 9.80 |
