Stripping executable #142

Closed brunobg closed 7 years ago

brunobg commented 7 years ago

I noticed that executables created by enclose are very large and stripping one of them reduced its size very much, but at the same time it stopped working. Is it some sort of integrity detection that broke and strip could work and reduce the file size?

strip seems to remove payload added to binary as "overlay". Try stripping any sfx archive - you will probably get non-working executable as well
