why ? it entirely depends on how your linux distro chose to build Qt, not on Qt itself.
- EvilEy3 6y agoBecause application can't run without those libraries. It's like comparing Java application without taking JVM into account.
- jcelerier 6y ago> It's like comparing Java application without taking JVM into account. no, it's not. The "equivalent" of the JVM would be the libQt5{Core,Gui,Widgets...}.so ; but here we are talking about the operating-system-provided libraries, so it is like comparing with a Java application, with the JVM, and also for instance all the MS Windows system libraries, or all the macOS frameworks like CoreFoundation, etc etc.
- makapuf 6y agoOK, so in this context the app is X MB. If all distros link those libs with libre cote and ui, for all intents and purposes, it takes X MB. If some dont, then lets discuss it (but if you can link to gstreamer and openssl to build a hello world, the issue is not entirely on the distro shoulders)
