44 \title Fine-Tuning Features in Qt
45 \ingroup qtce
46 \ingroup qt-embedded-linux
47 \brief Describes how to reduce the size of Qt libraries by selecting only
48 the features that are needed.
49
50 In many cases, only a fixed set of applications are deployed on an
51 embedded device, making it possible to save resources by minimizing
52 the size of the associated libraries. The Qt installation can easily
53 be optimized by avoiding to compile in the features that are not
54 required.
55
56 \tableofcontents
57
58 A wide range of features are defined, covering classes and technologies
59 provided by several of Qt's modules.
60 You can look up the different feature definitions in the
61 \c{src/corelib/global/qfeatures.txt} file within the Qt source
62 distribution.
63
64 \section1 Simple Customization
65
66 \section2 Embedded Linux
67
68 To disable a particular feature, just run the \c configure script
69 for Qt for Embedded Linux with the \c -no-feature-<feature> option.
70 For example:
71
72 \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_emb-features.qdoc 1
73
74 The feature can easily be enabled again by running \c configure
75 with the \c -feature-<feature> option.
