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

[André Prins]

Hi,

What I usually do (with only a 40Gb windows partition) is to call "nmake
sub-src sub-tools" after configure. This prevents a build of the examples,
demos and tutorials, as in my experience these use a huge amount of space in
some configurations (e.g. static, debug).

If you then need to look at a specific example you can always build it
separately.

Kind Regards,
André
