I compiled assimp with MinGW and I ended up with

  1. 21mb of libassimp.dll
  2. 42mb of libassimp.dll.a

Has anyone done this before? Why did I end up with such big files? I comparison of the VS compiled version, they are relatively small ~ 2mb.

    Are you building with the `-g` option in MinGW, which will incorporate symbol information? – Michael Burr Feb 11 '13 at 19:15
  • If symbols are the problem, you should be able to use `strip` on the DLL to remove them; I'm not sure if it will work on the import library. – Michael Burr Feb 11 '13 at 19:23
  • Ah, I didn't check. `-g` was there by default in the CMAKE for both release and debug variants. – ikel Feb 12 '13 at 21:55
