[Qt-interest] Bundling large files in a resource file

[Garth Dahlstrom]

Dear List, 

I'm trying to bundle a rather large zip file (~60MB) inside my executable, however I've hit a problem with cc1plus.exe maxing out memory allocation at about 1GB (the machine has Win64 8GB ram, the cc1plus.exe process never gets above 1.3GB of ram, so this appears to be a programatic limit in GCC).  

I'm wondering if others have hit this type of problem and what they've used to solve it (can RCC+GCC be made to work)?    Also googled and saw some mention of ICU package libraries and of boost in relation to resource files too...

Curiously,
