Hi,

I use openCV without extra modules in static mode install. I compile my own application with cmake and -03 option.

My program work but the size of my executable is very hight > 60Mo.

I analysed process of compilation and do step by step compilation program and I see than when I add a filter such as "Blur" and "medianBlur" my programme take 40Mo of size.

What is the way to reduce size of program ?

EDIT: See my option compilation:

OpenCV modules:

On Windows I got ~7,5MB for a typical, small terminal application with static build until OpenCV 3.2. Since OpenCV 3.3 it is about twice the size ~19MB. I was wondering what causes this increase.

@carton99: Is this a release build? Did you play around with optimization fllags?

Yes I try with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release option and -Os and -03 optimization option
