debug compiling in C++ by Ash_ on 12-13-2004 at 01:14 AM

ok. im using Dev-C++ to compile my code. i know i must be doing something wrong when i compile because my compiled exe is like 100kb.

i know it's not really that big. but if i make 1 button it goes to like 454 kb. a friend said i was compiling in Debug Mode. how do i get it out of debug mode. i've checked the compiler options. and theres nothing about a debug mode there.

if anyone can be bothered can you please help, by either like tellin me which compiler is good (it's probly not the compiler, just me :S :P). or can someone make a quick makeit.bat?. or tell me how to get it put of Debug Mode.

Debug Mode in an IDE is usually set in the Project Settings, or the Active Configurations, or similar. In VC++, it's under Active Configuration. There should be a similar option in Dev-C++

The bigger file-size could also be because of Dev-C++,
I thought it was using MING-W32 as compiler, which isn't natively for windows, but was ported...
Basicly, I suggest getting a Visual C++ 6 or 7

It can also use Cygwin or gcc.
