Also I think the debug information is put in by default. I didn't look at
the project options closely but I'm sure there are ways to minimize the size
of the executable.

I'm not familar with lazarus (or even delphi beyond very basic info),
but I would suspect the situation you have is using static link
libraries. Look in whatever options are available for dynamic libs.
On the other hand, using static libraries cuts down on client computer
dependencies, as you don't need to ensure that the dynamic libs are
installed as well. So even if you did have dynamic libs, you would
still need those 12mb of libs, they would just be in a seperate file.
