Change big binary files to small files

The binarie-files of a Lazarus project are (by default) big because they have a lot of debuging information included. Otherwise you couldn't not stop at a line of code, for debuging reasons.

Anyway. When you are finished developing you might want a much smaller file.

How to remove the debuging information before re-compile a Lazarus project?

Menu: Project / Project Options

Under "Linking"


Unselect "Generate debugging..."

Re-Build the project. That's it...

Example: BEFORE 40.4 MB-size / AFTER 5.6 MB-size
