DeAgent Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I noticed that when compiling files I get an exe size of 300kb or +. Yet when I look at other AutoIt programs they are only a few dozen kbs. What's up with that. Even a file with one line of code like : MsgBox(0,"HI",HI") : compiles to 300 kb executable there most be something im doing wrong? Can someone give me a hand and shed some light on this occurence? Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 6, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) DeAgent,When you compile an AutoIt script, you add the script to the AutoItSC.bin stub which holds the interpreter to run it - so not something you can afford to leave out. As you have correctly determined, even a single line script will therefore become a 300k file - because that is the size of the stub when compressed with upx. But what is 300k these days? A single Word document? And how big is your hard drive?M23P.S. If you really want to "do it small" search for one of Mobius' posts where he tells you how get around this. Edit: The topic including Mobius' suggestions is here. But beware, these are pretty deep waters as you can see.
