I'm including Qt in a large software project. I thought that if I just built the libraries and not the SDK it would save me from filling up my hard drive with a bunch of unnecessary junk, but when I build the Qt libraries it takes up a ridiculous 12 gigabytes of space, and after doing "make install" the resulting /usr/local/Trolltech folder is only 700 MB. When I do "./configure -help" it doesn't really give me enough information to know what options to set to do a minimal build. I'm the only person on the project who might ever need to use whatever development tools come with Qt; everybody else just needs to be able to get my Python code up and running with PySide on OS X. How should they configure it so they can build it using the least possible time and space?
