That makes zero difference in your final binary. If you need a library that wasn't compiled, your application will fail to link. If you have a library that your application doesn't link to, it won't be linked to. The convenience "-skip" option to the top-level configure is not at all the same as the feature system that we're discussing. > When using MinGW 8.1.0 the .exe size is 19151 kB and when using MSVC2019 > it becomes 11616 kB, i.e. 40% smaller. Do note that both QtCore and QtGui are compiled with -O3, which expands code size, when using GCC or Clang. There's no equivalent option to MSVC. You may want to disable this feature too and stick to -O2. You may also want to optimise for size, at the expense of runtime performance. That's usually not worth it. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
