No problem, just thought I would mention it.

BTW:
[just for comparison sake]
By default a simple test app - one Form, one Button and one Label,
produces a 800KB 64-bit executable under Linux using FPC 2.6.1. A
32-bit executable will probably be 30% smaller than that. This is just
with smartlinking and strip enabled - no other optimizations. So I
could probably reduce those sizes even more if I wanted to.

Umm, you do know that LCL based apps have a HUGE dependency list
compared to fpGUI ! So the "hodgepodge of external libraries" will be
when using LCL, *not* when using fpGUI.

fpGUI will have Android support very soon (just waiting on my next
phone upgrade). ;-)
