Fine tuning the size of Qt/WinCE with -qconfig

[Thomas Hartmann]

Hi,

There seems to be some confusion about fine tuning the size of Qt/WinCE.
We ship some configurations with Qt/WinCE that you can use out of the
box: minimal, small, medium, large, dist.
but those were initially created for QtopiaCore and we use them for
testing purposes.

I suggest to create your own configurations with qconfig.exe that fits
your needs. For us it is impossible to tell what widgets and features
your application needs and which not.
So the predefined  configurations do not make much sense.
QConfig is a graphical tool that enables you to select the components
you want to have in Qt or you want to remove and it shows all the
dependencies.
And of course if you remove functionality  from Qt some examples and
demos will not compile anymore. At first I would suggest to remove one
of the styles
(either the Windows Embedded CE Style or the Windows Mobile Style),
because you probably need only one style for your application and maybe
you do not need the style sheet style either.
Then remove all Widgets you will never use (QMdiArea, QGraphicsview,
QDockWidget, QLCDNumber) and then have a look at general features you
might not need (itemviews, network, html, css).
There are also some dialogs that you probably will never use like:
QProgressDialog.

A you can download a compiled version of QConfig here:

I attached a new version of configure.exe, because -qconfig was broken
for shadow builds.

Regards,

Thomas
