I really wanna develop GUI app with Qt, Is there anyway I could find the Libraries and Headers only?

What I have tried:

I tried googling, all of them leads me to the Qt download page

For development it is recommended to start at Download Qt: Choose commercial or open source[^] and go on. While it might be possible to just get the libraries and link your application with them you will find out sooner or later that something is missing and that you can't use all features without installing a full development environment. In such a case you would also have to do it all again and check for new and removed files when switching to a newer Qt version. That is probably why you did not found anything in the web.

For distributing applications see Deploying Qt Applications | Qt 5.10[^] and follow the platform specific links.

That's what I was telling ya'll about, it cost me 200GB+ of space

Really?

Note also that there is no need to select all options.

I have for example cross compiled Qt 5 for a Raspberry Pi on an Ubuntu system. Total used storage is 2.2G. I can't believe that it will be 100 times that size even when enabling all options.

From a quick web research
https://www.ics.com/blog/getting-started-qt-and-qt-creator-windows:
"You will need at least 5 GB of free disk space".

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/8.1/x/qt5.html
"Estimated disk space required: 8.8 GB".
