    You should build Qt statically.

      I lost the page that shows how to do that...
      If I make a build statically, it can get a smaller executable?
      Now I have the executable with the DLL, all together takes 12,5mb. If I build statically I can reduce this size?

      Thanks

          If your problem is one of distribution, you can use something like "Inno Setup":http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php to create a nice, compressed installer.

          There is no way around the Qt dll's unless you go for a commercial license.

                @goblincoding
                GPL license allows statically linking.

                  [quote author="Lukas Geyer" date="1359636764"]Or GPL ;-)[/quote]

                  Can you build statically under GPL? Never knew that...and so my legalese improves...little by little :D

                  Thanks!
