[Interest] Porting Qt app to windows

[Scott Aron Bloom]

If you don’t have to debug on windows MXE will work..

 

However I highly recommend using CMake rather than QMake, it just works better…  (not baiting a flame war, my opinion only)

 

Building Qt for your compiler (dev studio) is easy, but takes a couple hours depending on your machine.. But it’s a one time hit.

 

Then you will have the choice of QtCreator on windows or Dev Studio

OK, I have MXE working like a charm. Thanks! The problem though is that
it builds everything statically. I am not sure how this sits with
Nokia's LGPL licence agreement although my software is not for sale and
is only being used in-house. How would I get on publishing a GPL app?
(Pardon my ignorance here)

Internal usage? Not distributing? No problem. you are not obligated to share your application, and not the modifications you did to Qt4. LGPL applies only to distributing your application.
