[Suggestion] strip OpenTTD binary in release files? #643

Open MagicalDrizzle opened 5 months ago

It seems like the release binary (for Windows at least) is not stripped, resulting in considerable binary size bloat. The unstripped latest binary is 52MB, stripped is 13MB.

Minimal debug information is included on purpose, because otherwise it's overly difficult/time consuming to interpret crash logs from users. As this branch contains sometimes quite experimental features it's at times fairly important that this works. Recent upstream changes have required build configuration changes which have affected this, but there is ongoing work to slim the size overhead back down.
