Qt Application Deploying in Windows

Question

This is very messy situation that I have got. Before posting this into StackOverFlow, I have looked into all solutions provided in net. But none of those help.

I have created a small application for my professor, and now when I have build the executable code in my PC, the application never runs. It says, I need some .dll file.

Once if I attach the .dll files into the package, everything works perfect, except one thing, the application size which was supposed to be around few 20-30 kb goes to 1.23Gb.

My question is how to solve the issues? Can anyone give me a solution in a very simple-feasible way?

I need to link those .dll file but also need to keep the application small enough to make it portable.

I saw this, and this, and then this, and also this and finally this; none of them helped!

' 20-30 kb' is an unrealistically small expectation for a complete Windows GUI app. — Martin James

You would only need to redistribute the release version of your application, which links to the release version of the Qt DLLs, which are 5-20 MB in size, depending on the Qt version, compiler, and used modules.
