How much storage needed for tools to compile windows version?

• Oct 31, 2021 - 20:58

I'm trying to compile MS3.6 (but I'm also curious about MS4), and to install VS and QT, it looks like it's 100GB+.
Does that sound about right? I think it would be nice to have that on the documentation.
I ran out of space before I could get everything installed. I'll be upgrading storage but it seemed excessive, and was wondering if I was doing it right.

I'm building 3.x and master and the source and build directory needs some 13GB
On top Visual Studio and Qt, the later neeeds some 30GB, the former some 4GB.
So more like 50GB, about half of your estimate.

I might have included a little bit more than I actually needed for VS, but "QT Setup" was like 60GB.
Ahhh, I went with the suggested 5.15.2, but that's over 50GB, but it looks like I can get away with 5.9.9 for 3.x for now. It's a squeaker, but I should be able to fit it.

Thanks
