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

[Miguel Cardenas]

Hi

Well, finally decided to make a single windows partition with the whole disk
to compile Qt 4.5.1. I did

configure.exe -release -qt-gif -phonon -phonon-backend

(the same as in Linux) and the result was a 7.5Gb directory tree. Backed it
up and deleted 'demos', 'examples' and 'doc', but the tree is still over
4Gb.

Why 4.5.1 is too large? 4.4.3 is ~1Gb only with the exact same configure
options, computer and compiler. Will the applications be so large too?

I think (just my personal opinion) that future releases should be more
optimized, my linux installation (without applications) is 2Gb, My WinXP is
5Gb with all applications already installed, even Windows Vista does not
install 7Gb+, it is excessive for just a library.

It provides a very good benefit, but the cost in space is too high in the
latest version.

Take care
