[Qt-interest] cross compiling Qt using mingw on Windows

[Ross Bencina]

Clarifying my previous post, there are two configure files:

./configure (a shell script)

and

./configure.exe (a win32 executable)

It appears to me that ./configure (shell script)  is the only one that 
supports cross-compilation configuration (-xplatform argument), and that it 
requires cygwin on Windows (ie it is not supported with mingw). The 
./configure.exe works fine with mingw but doesn't support cross-compilation.

Am I correct?

Thanks
