Qt setup files are very large
-
Hello,
I dont know if somebody asked this question before. Well i dont know the current situation in Qt. But previously when i want to create a setup file for my application i need to include some Qt libraries and so on. It makes the setup file very large in size. Is there a better way to reduce the size like in Visual studio.
Best Regards

If your application is Open Sourced, or you have the Commercial License for Qt, you can build Qt and your application statically, that would reduce the binary size a bit.
You can also build without ICU to lower the amount of stuff to be shipped.

Thanks for this. But what about Release build, Will it needs any more stuffs to be included in making the setup program. I am using Qt network and core libraries

Dependencies vary a lot, as every app is different ;) For standard Windows build you need release versions of QtCode.dll, QtNetwork.dll, the platform plugin platforms/qwindows.dll, ICU libraries (libicu*, it weights quite a lot), MSVC runtime, OpenGL libs (or ANGLE). This adds up to, IIRC, about 20-40 MiB, depending on your setup.
It's much less on Linux and much more on Mac OS X. Platforms are all different :D
