QtBrowserPlugin without QtGui.dll?

[anupamgee]

Hi I have made a browser plugin that does some audio processing (processing is done in C with a C++ wrapper). There are no UI driven inputs and outputs. The UI is plain HTML fetched from the web and some javascript interaction is done.

The problem is that I need to keep the size of the plugin as minimum as possible, but QtGui.dll is of 9MB. Is there a way I can do away with QtGui library in the browserplugin or make the size reduce.

Will static buildin of Qt libraries help?

Thanks.

No, as it is used.


or make the size reduce.
Yes, there are tools to reduce the size of binaries. (strip or something like that, but google knows this better than me)

Google for static building and you'll know why this question doesn't make sense :-)
What does static building mean?
I'll give you a hint: your binary will be even bigger than shared building
