Hi all has anyone here installed the QT addon for VS ? I ask because I've looked at installing it and it stated that it required 5gb of space which seems an awful lot for an addon

Qt uses their own compilers for C++, due to many things. Which means that the currently available resources are not usable. Your C++ compilers and XML parsers won't be the one Qt would be looking for.

That is why, they would ship their own parsers and compilers. Which would take 5 GB of space, even if it said 6 GB, I would have not tried to doubt it.

*And if it asked for 4 GB, I would have still not installed it. :laugh:

Which download package?
When there was a message like this before download, 5 GB makes sense:
"Qt online installer is a small executable which downloads content over internet based on your selections. It provides all Qt 5.x binary & source packages and latest Qt Creator."

I have not used Qt with Windows so far. But after compiling the Qt 5.3 sources for a minimal system (Raspberry Pi) 2.2 GB are used here on an Ubuntu system. That is without any additional tools like QtCreator and Qt 5.5 has even much more files than 5.3 (the cloned Git repository is about 1.7 GB).

Hi,

I installed Qt and the VS plugin version 1.2.4 that occupies little space separately.

The only issue I have, the plugin didn't load so I have to recompile it from source code and replace dll.

After that, all worked as expected.

Regards.
