out of memory allocating 134221823 cc1plus.exe

[lucarocchi]

im trying to compile an app that includes 13 Mb of resource file but i get
out of memory allocating 134221823 bytes cc1plus.exe (134 mb?)
Then , after removing some Kb of files, compiler outputs out of memory allocating 65536 bytes cc1plus.exe
Any hint about ? also anyone know what is the maximum size of resource i can embed in the app?

dan,
at first i realized that putting all the files in a single qrc produced a huge .cpp , about a 64K ,and that caused cc1plus.exe can't allocate enough to run its job
I splitted the qrc and pass to the next ...
Then the linker gave me error about segment overlaps just the kind of errors that can stuck me for hours /days ...
while i spent 5 minutes to solve it only because you point me there ...
Thanks

Unfortunately, Qt doesn't have a good way to handle large groups of file resources. It's very inefficient, in terms of executable storage and application load speed, to use a resource file to contain, say, a bunch of HTML pages, but the only other option is to load the individual HTML files into the file system. You can't, eg, use a single zip/jar file to contain all of the HTML files (which would save a lot of storage due to compression) since WebKit doesn't understand zip files.

It should. For example, if you check http://www.google.com it has in HTTP header: Content-Encoding: gzip

btw , it was a set of sound waves (about 7mb) , webkit wasn't there

more in general , i am aware that i was forcing it a little by pushing all that resources ... at the same time, as i 'm still moving first steps on QT/Symbian , i want to verify with my eyes how such an app runs on the real device .. .
it is 8mb sis , that ,yes,it takes its time to install but run without any problem

How would you identify a single page out of a zip in WebKit?

Yeah, we have an 8mb sis -- will get it shipped one of these days if our customer ever gets around to getting their publisher ID.
