To large exe file

[wydesenej]

Hi,
i compiled my program under winXP as static application (here is how-to wich i used http://wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?t...c_applications) and its too large (its simple one widget application and it has about 70MB) because i use QNetwork module and QGui module...

Please help. I need to run this application on PCs where are not installed QT libraries but 70MB software is too much.

Thanks!

Are you sure you compiled it in release mode?

Are you sure you compiled it in release mode?

If i try it, it has about 300kB but there are no libraries included. Program crashes on start with "cannot find QtCore4.dll" message.

Do you have Qt compiled statically in release mode?

The instructions in our wiki tell you to pass "-release -static" (and "-no-exceptions" if you have MinGW) while configuring Qt. Apparently you didn't pass "-release", because the Qt libraries were built in debug mode.

Edit: Oh, and you should have a separate installation for dynamic and static builds of Qt. Don't try to build a dynamic installation statically, but grab the Qt sources and do a static build for those.

Is it OK? I am using MinGW

Yes, it looks fine (-static was added to QMAKE_LFLAGS). The next step is to run configure:

configure -static -release -no-exceptions

Nice, it works Thanks!!!
