Unsolved Qt Static Build Is Very Big
-
@Taz742 Given the level of customisation provided there is no way for Qt to deliver pre-compiled binaries. It's just a series of config options to use when building Qt from sources. use
configure --list-features
to see them all -
@VRonin
Unfortunately, there are many big for me.
I started writing my project Native c ++ (Dev-Cpp 5.11 TDM-GCC 4.9.2), but I can not write http downloader.
Can anyone help me? -

Dev-Cpp 5.11
Oh god, please no! Use a proper IDE. Qt Creator is already there for you

You can use libcurl. it's in C but it's only 300KB
P.S.
You are probably going off topic here give this is a Qt forum -

When I started learning programming (Algorithm) Dev was my friend and I love it very much :)@VRonin said in Qt Static Build Is Very Big:

Yes there is Qt but in this particular case only .exe need and very small.
@VRonin said in Qt Static Build Is Very Big:

And where to use Libcurl, tell me the language of programming where I use Libcurl and then I will only have .exe 300KB.
Please teach me :)) -
I love it very much
I guess it's a bit like my love of escargot.

There is no relation between what IDE you use and the complied output
And where to use Libcurl, tell me the language of programming where I use Libcurl and then I will only have .exe 300KB
Almost all C++ compilers can compile and link to C code. Just follow the tutorial
-
Just a note
Did you try
https://upx.github.io/Its the charactermap sample static compiled. and then compressed.
Its fully transparent for the user and very fast decompressor.
-
@mrjj That is sort of 7zip for .exes if the problem is space on the target device that will not solve very much as the program will be decompressed before it's started.
It works really well, however, if your problem is transferring the file around
-
Well it decompresses to memory so unless its a size memory issue (on target), it should not matter.
But of course it wont be as lovely small as curl + pugixml :)

-
What is very hard ?
-
@mrjj
UPX only decompresses .exe?
UPX can not just make it from my files only .exe ? -
-
Thank @mrjj very much.
If I made my project on Qt and I would make it static build And .Exe will be a maximum of 15 megabytes, UPX will bring it down 15 -
min(15 * 50 / 100, 15 * 70 / 100), This is a lot for me.
I would be happy with only about 500 kilobytes :(.
Let's take the name of everyone skype installer. Where can it be written?
Excuse me to get my problems out of Qt. I did not want a flood this topic. -
@Taz742 From the beginning of this thread it has been unclear to me what you actually want to do. For example, if you want to have a simple Windows-only application with a graphical user interface which does only one simple thing and whose size goes under 5MB, Qt isn't a good solution for you. See https://blog.qt.io/blog/2017/05/31/qt-lite-qt-5-9-lts/ for size comparison and you can see that under 5MB is so-and so with the Lite system, but under 1MB is unrealistic. The very small applications you see on Windows use some lighweight libraries or maybe only Microsoft's own Windows APIs. The reason they are small is because Windows has many libraries installed by default, not because Qt is bloated. If just under 5MB is acceptable, you can try e.g. wxWidgets, see https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Reducing_Executable_Size. If you have a command line application without windows and widgets you shouldn't be using Qt in this case at all.

15 -min(15 * 50 / 100, 15 * 70 / 100), This is a lot for me.
I have no idea what this shows.
Normally upx compress it to 1/3 of size. -
@Taz742 About the Qt Lite I would say that it's too much hassle for just one small Windows application (with the caveat that I haven't actually tried it). Without the commercial licence you have to manually edit hundreds of things and then compile Qt. With a commercial licence comes a GUI configuration tool.

In order to get what I needed to write the WIN API application in Dev C ++.
He did not request other and other platforms .dll and other files. (Only .exe).Only this code can only be achieved with the following picture:
Now I can not create http file downloader.
-
@Taz742 "Now I can not create http file downloader" - why not? You don't have http networking features available? Use for example libcurl, it was already mentioned. But this has nothing to do with Qt so you will get better help somewhere else.
-
@Eeli-K
Because libcurl can not be installed for Dev.
When I used to use the visual studio and transferred my project to visual studios that I had written on Dev. He asked .dll another computer to connect to the program. -

Did you try to build libcurl with your compiler?
