    Hello all,

    Recently I found out that in installing qt, I need to download the sources and compile the sources. I had thought that the installer would take care of this step for me.

    Anyways, I ma creating a portable OS on a flahs drive that contains qtCreator and linux mint. The flash drive size is 16 GB and I recently found out this is not adequate.

    Does anyone know the total size qt takes after installing qtCreator and compiling the source code?

    Also, since I am not planning to use every single module, is there a way for me to compile only the modules that I need at this time? I think I can save some space on my flash drive and get Qt to fit.

      Since you're using a distribution - why can't you use the default Qt from there?
      If you really want to compile Qt5 on your own for whatever reason you can simply remove the unneeded modules from the source tree or use a configure switch as explained here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/103003/configure-skip-options-being-ignored

        Sure, go to http://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/ and use the online installer for your platform.

        Regards

        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          Hello thank you for your replies. I was thinking that I can use the latest version of qt on a new project.

          I only want to compile certain modules of Qt since I don't need all of them
