This was on Windows, and dynamic linking as the project was proprietary. If you pay the fee or are open source you can static link and it will be much smaller.

- simion314 8y agoI still don't believe that the Qt dlls are 500Mb, I tried to Google around and what I found is someone complaining of the size, in his case a simple Qt GUI app had 14Mb. If you think 500Mb is the right number maybe you can find a link so I update my knowledge. I am familiar with this complaint , at a previous workpolace we switched to Adobe AIR because of the installer size (the boss felt better if the customers installed AIR from Adobe and then our 2 Mb installer). At that time Qt did not had a built in way to create installers, signing them, and autoupdate applications,(not sure it has now) Adobe AIR had such mechanism so this also was a factor on switching to this toolkit then. So if you think Qt is big what would you use instead?
- slededit 8y agoFifty. Not 500. You misread my original comment, and the follow up. I thought you were being smart with 50 megabits in your earlier comment or I would have caught that misunderstanding earlier.
- simion314 8y agoSorry, I can swear it was 500 but my eyes tricked me. You did not mention what cross platform tool is smaller and works with proprietary software.1
