why the size of my qt file is very big?

[J.Hilk]

@RIVOPICO Theres also Qt Lite if you're interested in that.

[RIVOPICO]

@J.Hilk how much is the difference between qt lite and normal? and for using static libraries i must to setup it again or can use the currently static configuration installed in my pc and use it?

[RIVOPICO]

in qt 5.9 can i use msvc static if i did it with other version of qt? in my case i have qt 5.6

Hi,

With Qt Lite you can remove everything you don't use and that is not a dependency of what you are using. So it might be a lot.

If you want to use a Qt 5.9 static build, then you'll have to build it yourself. Keep in mind the licensing implication of using a static build of Qt.

[RIVOPICO]

@SGaist ok thanks. but i have the static compilation with msvc2013 so i can import to qt 5.9?

[SGaist]

What do you mean by import ?

You either build your application with your static 5.6 or with your current 5.9.

[RIVOPICO]

@SGaist i build qt 5.6 static with msvc2013 and it's static. If i use a new version of qt 5.9 i can use my static compiler because maybe i'm wrong but msvc static is the compiler not qt. So like i have msvc 2013 static maybe i can use it on the new version of qt without repeating all the process not sure.

[SGaist]

There's no such thing as a "static compiler". You compiled a static version of Qt which is a set of libraries., So when building your application with that version of Qt, you'll be linking to it.

The version of Qt 5.9 that you installed is a set of shared libraries. So if you want to link to a 5.9 statically, you will first have to compile it statically.

[RIVOPICO]

then i prefer to search other solution to qt lite. because reconfigure of new is for sure difficult again.

[RIVOPICO]

i have installed qt 5.7 but like you say must to do everything again, so prefer to search other way. i will try if get other way if not i will must to be happy with the size.
