[SOLVED] Optimized compiling with Qt
Hello
How do I apply third level optimization (-O3) for g++ compiler in a Qt project? Setting CXXFLAGS didn’t help.

You can try
Thank you. but didn’t worked for C++. I also do this:
- QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE -= -O
- QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE -= -O1
- QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE -= -O2
- QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE *= -O3
Is this correct?
Now programs runs a little faster than previous. (should I also re-compile OpenCV and Qt?)
Yes, that’s the variable for C++.
Qt itself, and OpenCV are not affected by the change in your project settings, that’s right. I’m not sure if you will gain that much speed by switching to -O3. The trolls usually go for sane defaults :) But you will only see if you try.
In case you rebuild Qt, I recommend changing that variable setting in the make spec you use. It’s in /path/to/qt/sources/mkspecs
I recompiled Qt and OpenCV with -O3 flags (takes 9 hours) and then recompile my program with -O3 flag too.
I can’t believe the results! There was only 8 frames per second with normal configuration…. Now it’s 38 frames per second :)
This is my qmake.conf:
- #
- # qmake configuration for linux-g++
- #
- # Written for GNU/Linux platforms that have both lib and lib64 directories,
- # like the AMD Opteron.
- #
- MAKEFILE_GENERATOR = UNIX
- TARGET_PLATFORM = unix
- TEMPLATE = app
- CONFIG += qt warn_on release incremental link_prl
- QT += core gui
- QMAKE_INCREMENTAL_STYLE = sublib
- QMAKE_CFLAGS -= -O2
- QMAKE_CFLAGS -= -O1
- QMAKE_CXXFLAGS -= -O2
- QMAKE_CXXFLAGS -= -O1
- QMAKE_CFLAGS = -m64 -O3
- QMAKE_LFLAGS = -m64 -O3
- QMAKE_CXXFLAGS = -m64 -O3
- include(../common/g++.conf)
- include(../common/linux.conf)
- QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 = /usr/X11R6/lib64
- QMAKE_LIBDIR_OPENGL = /usr/X11R6/lib64
- load(qt_config)
God bless gcc ;)
