The qtbase (autogenerated) source code compiled is 25 MB. The Qt DLLs add another 25 MB, so about 50 MB. Documentation would add another 50 MB. I have converted the types in the Qt documentation to look more like R types (no const, * etc). The documentation is not part of the package yet though.<br>

This sounds fantastic! What is the size of the package with dll's embedded?<br>
