Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Size of Qt Dist

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

You don't need the code only, just the distro for your dev-environment.

Code-only would only be needed, if you want to build your own version of Qt. The binary only takes about 2GB.

cheers

When I went to install the new version of Qt, I chose the 5.9.3 code only and the installer said that it would require 36GB of disk space.  I thought this was just a mistake.  It took ages to download and sure enough – 35.8GB.  This dwarfs anything I have ever loaded onto my PC.  It’s a UI library for goodness sake.  What on earth takes all that space?

 

Have I done something stupid?
