Description
The precompiled binaries offer the file `shaderc_combined.lib` (on Windows; the Linux ones are named accordingly), which is supposed to be the entire library in one statically linked file. The only issue with it is that it takes up 600 MB disk space just as a static library, which is, to say the least, an undesirable number, especially for games, where it's intended to be embedded.
Is there a way to avoid inflating the resulting executable file to this number without using DLL dependencies?
