This project uses a statically compiled version of Qt 6.7.1 to create a standalone .EXE file. The build can be found in the project files under static_Qt. To create the static build of Qt yourself, you can use this guide from the Qt docs. My static Qt build was tightly configured to minimize the size using the following configuration with mingw-32:
.\configure -prefix %DESKTOP_STOPWATCH_BUILD_DIR% -static -release -platform win32-g++ -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-webp -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -no-opengl -no-sql-sqlite -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -no-zstd -make libs -skip qt3d -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtcharts -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtdoc -skip qtgamepad -skip qtlocation -skip qtlottie -skip qtmacextras -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtpurchasing -skip qtquick3d -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtremoteobjects -skip qtscript -skip qtsensors -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebglplugin -skip qtwebview -skip qtwebengine -skip qmldbg -skip qtgraphs -skip qtquick3dphysics -skip qtsql -skip qttexttospeech -skip qtuitools -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebsockets -skip qthelp -skip qtopcua -skip qtpositioning -skip qtprintsupport -skip qtquickwidgets -skip qt5compat -skip qtcoap -skip qtmqtt -skip qtquickeffectmaker -skip qtscxml -skip qtspeech -skip qtvirtualkeyboard -no-accessibility -no-ltcg -make libs -nomake tools -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qttools -skip qtdeclarative -skip qttranslations
To run the configure script, set the environment variable DESKTOP_STOPWATCH_BUILD_DIR to the path of the static_Qt folder within your cloned repository, or put the full path after -prefix.
