Re: Proc*C executable size v6 -> v7

You linked static libs, which means the executable is large, due to the fact that oracle links in a lot of stuff. -lsqlnet -lora

Stripping the executable will make it somewhat smaller but the difference will still remain significant,

Only thing you can do, to make it a lot smaller is see if you have a system with a version of oracle7 that has shared libraries so you can link your executable shared. This will show a big dif.

So link your executable with libclntsh.sl or liboracle.sl.

As far as I know future versions will support shared libs more again. than in the beginning of v7. From 7.2 on I think there were a lot more systems supporting shared libs...
