static compilation still big

[RIVOPICO]

hello i tried using upx to make more small but still the program is very big getting around 5 Mb.
It's possible to make the programs more leight?

static compilation still big

Static libraries compilation will always be bigger than dynamic, so your phrased question seems a bit odd?

@JonB i was trying using upx but it's still weight.

@RIVOPICO
Well it can only be bigger with static than dynamic, so just what size are you expecting? These days 5MB is not big....

Hi
If you already uses exe compression and static linking, its unlikely you can get it smaller.
Why is the size so important ? 5 MB is fine even on phones.

@mrjj i saw some people got better result's around 1 MB in my case the minimum size was 5MB. is just for make it more leight.

@RIVOPICO
hi. it really depends on what you actually used in Qt.
So maybe those small project, only used Qt core and nothing more.

@RIVOPICO if you really need it smaller then search fot 'Qt Lite' and expect to invest some time ...

But not sure its worth the time needed versus the size reduction :)
