[vlc-devel] Re: bloat size of vlc.exe

I ran into two problems:

1. I used --disable-wxwindows but vlc.exe still have wxWindows
interface built into it
2. ./vlc-0.8.2-svn/vlc.exe failed to start (hangs there but is using
100% CPU) and is 5MB which is still huge. What else can I disable to
really strip it down to minimum size? By the way the unstriped vlc.exe
works fine (with wxWindows interface)
