I’d like to see that.  Can anyone can share a link ?

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to compile only those classes your app needs (as seen by MOC) and link in a million little class libararies into one, which is then linked to the app. Of course with such an approach you might have to force include some classes for polymorphic reasons.

From the blogs I thought it sounded like you build-Qt-for-your-specific-needs.  Then use your custom built Qt Lite to build your project.

Any opinions on whether executable size would be comparable to static lib linking of Qt?  Or much smaller?

I have never succeeded at building a static lib version of Qt.  To use in production I would need to build for 4 targets; Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.   I should try again sometime.
