Re: [Interest] Installation Sizes for Applications using Qt

2021-08-26 Thread Ben Cottrell
So Qt makes sense for large applications, but for smaller ones, it's more efficient to use individual libraries per platform. Until Qt is more easily configurable, I cannot justify using it's libraries in small applications. On Thu, 2021-08-26 at 07:39 -0700, Thiago Macieira wrote: > On Thursday,

Hi, I'm also using Arch and that's how they configured their FreeType2 build: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/tree/packages/freetype2/trunk There are indeed some patches which might be an improvement. They also build with Harfbuzz support so its configuration might make a differ

If you are building static, you can use the ld.gold linker which prunes a lot of unused code off, and maybe add in -Os to QMAKE_LFLAGS. It might not hurt to do a second "strip" after your executable is built too. Anything using location or webkit is going to pull in a lot though. On Thu, Aug 26,
