    Nah, I'm just asking. I would expect at least Qml and Quick to be not needed since your app seems to be widget based.

    Btw. few things strike me in your .pro file:

    Qt has its own "macos for os detection":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtglobal.html#Macrosx. You don't need those ON_WIN32 and ON_LINUX

    Why do you have this: QT += gui-private ? Seems suspicious ;)

        Soo... I am the creator of the .pro file posted above.

        1. Qml and Quick are needed by webkitwidgets. We have a feature that loads web pages internally and takes snapshots of them. So the whole dependencies tree of webkit widgets is loaded. Is there a way to be more specific of what part of webkit widgets you're interested in so as to throw out the unneeded dependencies?

        2. I know about those macros, but using my own has 2 benefits: (a) are shorter and cleaner, one can recognize them under non-Qt code and immediately understand what they're referring to. (b) I can be 101% sure that if gui-private is included then ON_WIN32 is used. With Q_OS_WIN32 I am only 99.9% :D

        3. gui-private is used for zip extraction under Windows (that's why it is included only there)

            bq. Is there a way to be more specific of what part of webkit widgets you’re interested in so as to throw out the unneeded dependencies?

            I don't think so, at least I don't know one :(

            bq. are shorter and cleaner

            How is ON_WIN32 shorter and cleaner than Q_OS_WIN? They are the same length and to be honest at first glance I wondered what O N stands for :P

            bq. I can be 101% sure that if gui-private is included then ON_WIN32 is used. With Q_OS_WIN32 I am only 99.9%

            Equivalent of your define is Q_OS_WIN, not Q_OS_WIN32. win32 is both Q_OS_WIN32 and Q_OS_WIN64.
            I don't follow your logic. gui-private is included inside win32 brace, which is when Q_OS_WIN is defined. Where's the missing 0.1% of confidence?

                Yeah I might be wrong on the macros, but I feel more confident knowing that ON_WIN32 is defined exactly when gui-private is included.

                Anyway, this can (and will) change very easily. The sad part is all the extra dlls coming from the webkitwidgets :/

                    Yeah, well, not totally wrong on the macros part... https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-34593

                    It made me scratch my head multiple times why Q_OS_UNIX was working just fine but Q_OS_LINUX was failing....
