[Qt-interest] Qt 4.5.1 Windows GROWS 4Gb+

[Miguel Cardenas]

Hello

I got a new problem compiling Qt 4.5.1 on Windows, it grows and grows while
compiling until the hard disk is full and 'nmake' aborts because
'insuficient disk space', and checking the Qt tree it is 4.6Gb!!!!!!!!!!

Since I don't use windows too much (my base is Linux) the 80Gb disk was used
for Linux and the 40Gb disk was left for Windows.

My windows disk is partitioned as hda1(boot):10Gb and hda2(data):30Gb. I've
deleted almost all from my windows, so only the operating system remains,
applications and everything was removed except VC++ 2008 and the Qt sources,
leaving about 5Gb free in the windows partition, but it appears it is not
enough since during compilation the Qt tree grows over 4.6Gb and compilation
aborts when 145Mb are left on disk.

My questions are two in particular...

1) Do REALLY Qt 4.5.1 for Windows may grow to MANY GIGAS??? In Linux it
grows up to 800Mb WITH ALL SELECTED!

2) Can I compile in the data partition D:\Qt-...4.5.1 using "-prefix
C:\Qt-...4.5.1" ??? probably the final installation will be shorter than the
compiled source tree??? but don't know if it is possible to compile in one
drive and install to another different?

NOTE: I selected everything to compile, but only the "-release" version, and
anyway it grows without measure...

Thanks for your help!
