[Qt-interest] possible to cut size of my final released package?

[Alessandro Portale]

Hi,

try to build the application with a static Qt. See:
http://doc.trolltech.com/latest/deployment-windows.html#static-linking

Additionally you can add configure options like "-no-stl", 
"-no-style-cde", "-no-style-cleanlooks", "-no-style-motif" or 
"-no-style-plastique". Those should remove a few Kilobytes.

Confirming what Diego Schulz suggested. You can squeeze the last bit of 
air out of your package with the Exe-packer UPX: 
http://upx.sourceforge.net/

Good luck,
Alessandro
