Size OTB-Applications 3.10 rc1 windows binary file is too big
Mantis Issue 343, reported by mgrizonnet, assigned to ghost, created: 2011-06-17
The executable file size is 295 Mo (http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/packages/OTB-Applications-3.10.0-RC1-win32.exe)
1308305374 - julienmAs of today, we generate one executable for each application, for each generator. Due to the static build limitation, it leads to a lot of big executables (several MB each).
But we really only need only one "application loader" for each generator, and package the application with a plugin approach. Please see http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB-Wrapper for an implementation of this (review/comments welcome!), using the ready-to-use ITK plugin system. I guess it will drastically reduce the size of the installation tree

That's why I'm adding a relationship to the OSGeo4W integration feeature request : it will enable us to do as for the debian package, and separate the build products in different packages.
