Should I cross-compile in Linux or Windows?

Question

To create a .exe in Linux using Qt SDK, should I cross compile my application in Linux or cross-compile my application in Windows?

Answer 1

First off, kvg. Google search for "cross-compiling qt applications in linux for windows" and first link that comes up is this: http://silmor.de/29

The steps should be simple:

• install mingw
• install qt linux binaries so that you get qmake and moc and other stuff needed for compilation.
• get windows qt binaries and other possible libraries your application requires.
• create a new qmake configuration files (see silmor.de page for more details)
• go to your source folder and call qmake -spec $SpecFileCreatedInStep4
• make
• profit!!
• close your questions in so.
