[Interest] Vote for Windows 32-Bit Binaries for MSVC-2017

[Maurice Kalinowski]

You should be more precise, as in "If somebody wants to build Qt WebEngine for 32-bit MSVC2017"...

All other modules build fine, it's my day to day setup.

Hi,
Please, consider voting for:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-63708

Note, that if somebody wants to build Qt for 32-bit MSVC-2017 by himself/herself, cross compiler to be used since Qt-5.11 and up in line with the tips in:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68462

Note, that since Qt-5.11, there's no option to build WebEngine with any other compiler below  MSVC-2017.

IMHO, 32-bit Windows at Win-7 is still a mainstream, at least for the nearest 4 years till MS provides Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU) through January 2023:

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Robert
