In wxWindows 2.5, this will be in the wx/msw/wx.rc and
so will happen automatically so long as you include wx.rc

take with VC++ 5/6 space optimisation: it can sometimes cause problems.<P>
Statically-linked wxWindows 2 programs are smaller than wxWindows 1.xx programs, because of the way
wxWindows 2 has been designed to reduce dependencies between classes, and other
techniques. The linker will not include code from the library that is not (directly or
indirectly) referenced
by your application. So for example, the &#39;minimal&#39; sample is less than 500KB using VC++ 6
(note that this figure may be greater for the latest version of wxWindows).<P>
If you want to distribute really small executables, you can
use <a href="http://www.un4seen.com/petite/" target=_top>Petite</a>

will shrink to a mere 250KB. With this sort of size, there is reduced incentive to
use DLLs. Another good compression tool is <a href="http://upx.sourceforge.net/" target=_top>UPX</a>.

Please do not be surprised if MinGW produces a statically-linked minimal executable of 1 MB. Firstly, gcc
produces larger executables than some compilers. Secondly, this figure will
include most of the overhead of wxWindows, so as your application becomes more
complex, the overhead becomes proportionaly less significant. And thirdly, trading executable compactness
for the enormous increase in productivity you get with wxWindows is almost always well worth it.

for the enormous increase in productivity you get with wxWindows is almost always well worth it.<P>
If you have a really large executable compiled with MinGW (for example 20MB) then
you need to configure wxWindows to compile without debugging information: see
docs/msw/install.txt for details. You may find that using configure instead
of makefile.g95 is easier, particularly since you can maintain debug and
release versions of the library simultaneously, in different directories.
Also, run 'strip' after linking to remove all traces of debug info.
