I've decided to learn Delphi since I found it perfect for my needs, however while taking a first look at the IDE I've fired up a "VCL Forms Application - Delphi" resized the form and added a button, nothing more. After compiling it, I was socked that I found in the Debug folder the EXE file was INSANLY large!! A 10MB file with NOTHING on it. just a blank button(no code) and a blank form. Even tried removing the button, nothing changed.
Thought it could be the application icon, found that it was the one IDE provided, 56KB in size.
I've tried the Release config, which helped putting it down to 2MB which is still VERY unacceptable for a blank application.
I've tried googling found some complains about file sizes but nothing of my situation (blank app, no code, no tools etc), and also tried editting some configuration settings(Debug info OFF etc) in Debug and Release and in both nothing changed.
Delphi Starter 10.2 is the one I'm using.
Is this supposed to be a normal thing or am I supposed to do something?
