Trying to digest but very hard...
Isn't there a simpler setting in Lazarus that can switch on/off
optimization or debug data generation?
I guess that the exe is big because it contains debug stuff, but that
a single form created as a default project and where I added 10
buttons, 3 spinedits, 1 combobox and 5 shapes as signal "lamps" plus a
couple of units with pretty straightforward object definitions and the
SdpoSerial component could turn out as a 13 Mb exe file is beyond my
grasp.
THe link above brings me to a page where big seems to start at 6
Mb....
