Lean standalone option?
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 8:35 pm
While pondering an anomaly I recently found in standalones (see http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10933 ), I find myself wondering:
Are there any other users besides myself who would like the option of being able to build standalones without the IDE stuffing all of its libraries into them?
I recognize the convenience for most builds, but I rarely use any libraries other than my own, and I don't mind managing my own extenals loading in the few apps where I use externals at all.
That said, I also recognize that such an extreme interest in boot time and file size goes beyond finicky, so I'm happy enough to just mod my own standalone builder and leave it at that.
But if there are others who may find ultra-lean standalones useful, it would be good to know, perhaps motivating me to make a mod tool for others to use. And if it turns out there's more interest than I'd thought, then perhaps this could be a checkbox in the Standalone Builder? Not that I'm suggesting that necessarily, but it would be interesting to learn how many others have a similar interest.
