How to make build smaller

[stefan]

hi,
i'm trying to build Qt source by using following configuration options:

configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -static -debug-and-release -fast -qt-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -vcproj

configure -platform win32-msvc2005 -static -debug-and-release -fast -qt-sql-sqlite -no-qt3support -vcproj

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the final size of build is abowe 12 GB! How can i reduce this size?

nmake -clean

nmake -clean

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

?
But i think that the size od Qt directory will still be to large..

how can i exclude unnecessary stuff from building? i dont need examples, etc.

Thanx for your answers

you can comment in project.pro lines which hold exmaples and demos

...
    } else:isEqual(PROJECT, examples) {
#       SUBDIRS += examples
    } else:isEqual(PROJECT, demos) {
#       SUBDIRS += demos
...

...
    } else:isEqual(PROJECT, examples) {
#       SUBDIRS += examples
    } else:isEqual(PROJECT, demos) {
#       SUBDIRS += demos
...

Thank you, that's exactly what i need.
One more question: "nmake -clean" cleans all intermediat files? are they necessary for debugging?

#       SUBDIRS += examples

it cleans all object files and debug information.

use make -install instead.

[stefan]

instead of "nmake -clean"? or instead of "nmake"?

use make -install instead.

[spirit]

oh, sorry make -install works under linux.

[wysota]

nmake install works fine if you provide a prefix for the installation.

Can you explain more detailed?

there is no install in here..

[wysota]

Because it is not a feature of the nmake program but from the Makefile that it uses.

$ make --help|grep install
$

There is no "install" in make as well.
