<tt>Nice. Those .exe files would be closer to 30 MB than 20 MB,
right? But nowadays that kind of sizes are quite common/normal and
does not incur any noticeable delays when launching them.<br>
<br>
Building static Qt apps this way for Windows I think will be more
popular. I wish Qt would include a static building wizard, like
showing say the most common static build flavors as check boxes,
and perhaps a detailed view for cherrypicking exactly what modules
you want.<br>

I've switched from VS to MinGW, the #1 reason: I can
distribute an .exe <br>
file which is runnable directly on the user's desktop (no
installation). <br>
This is *verboten* when using VS, you have to send along the
<br>
distribution dlls (ucrtbase.dll etc.) and install them.<br>

<div>Agreed. I cross-build completely statically linked Qt
quick apps on Linux using mingw-w64 and share them (.exe
only, no DLLs) to colleagues who only run windows. Very
useful! So I would not vote for requiring MSYS2 or similar
if it would mean the end of cross building Windows apps on
Linux (if I've understood what MSYS2 is correctly). <br>

<div>I would not however mind upgrading the compiler/toolchain
if my particular one was too old for some future Qt version.<br>
