i7 3770k @ 4.5GHz, 16GB RAM, Windows 7 x64
The MSVC build is 64bit, I haven't really set any optimization flags, so everything should be by default

My builds that uploaded to sourceforge.net are builded without any optimization.

Thanks for the pre-compiled package. I uncompress it and place it to c:/, and I am going to use the qt library in mingw. With qt4, I compile my source in mingw as

./configure --prefix=SOMEWHERE LIBS="-L /c/Qt/4.8.4/lib -lmingw32 -lqtmain -lQtGui4 -lQtCore4"
make
make install

that is, the libraries flag qtmain, QtGui4 and QtCore4, etc. were setup well upon the installation of qt4. But with this pre-compiled package of qt5, obviously, it won't set it up, so what to do to make it work with pkg-config so the mingw know how to compile my
code with qt dependency.

BTW, I found three folders in the package, if I only need the mingw32 compilation, so I only have to copy everything inside mingw32 folder and place them to the mingw root folder, right?

Thanks.

Hi all!
I create new project on https://github.com/Alexpux/Qt-builds where is the set of scripts to build Qt5+QtCreator with all its prerequisites and dependencies under MSYS.

Thanks for the hard work on this. So far I have found the following issues.

doesn't work if user name (home directory) contains a space
toolchains_prepare doesn't unzip the downloaded files.

Do you change links to toolchains or use my links?

I used yours. The toolchains downloaded but there was no command in your script to unzip them.

Currently the qt5 configure is failing, that might be because I changed some of the flags (I added -no-exceptions -no-rtti -no-stl)

Update apparently -no-exceptions and -no-stl are no longer an option in qt5.

I am not aware of the current state of affairs, but Qt 5.0.1 repos were merged into stable a weak ago and should be pretty much finalized and can be found "here":http://releases.qt-project.org/digia/5.0.1/latest_successful/

There is a MinGW version there for the impatient :)

I many work on my scripts and now I release version 0.2.0. I try to build 5.0.1 tomorrow.

Ok I do build of Qt-5.0.1 with QtCreator-2.6.1 for 32-bit. You can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-binary-packages/Qt-Builds/Qt-5.0.1-x32.7z/download

@alexpux: Thank you for being so helpful to Qt users! The Qt 5.0.1 release will contain an official MinGW-based build, so you can probably rest from compiling Qt after that :) Your scripts will be useful a long time to come though.

Thanks again!

Ok I post here the last link for my build. This is 64-bit build for Qt-5.0.1 + QtCreator-2.6.1
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-binary-packages/Qt-Builds/Qt-5.0.1-x64.7z/download
I f anyone need my builds later you can find them on http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-binary-packages/Qt-Builds. My plans to future is to add qbs and cmake to builds, and make installer or qpatch to make my builds relocatable.

I remove obsoleted SDK-x32 and SDK-x64 from links in first post. Instead they I upload my last release of Qt-5.0.0.
Now my builds contains QBS and QDesktopComponents. And you can simply move Qt folder where you want by editing qt.conf file in <QTDIR>/bin directory.
Also I now have static builds of Qt5.
I will no longer update the information here.
All information of my builds and next releases you can find:

Hello,

I am facing problems when compiling my project with your pre-built package (Qt-5.0.1-x64.7z). Actually I have the exact same problem with my own compilation of qt5.0.1/mingw64. I am using this mingw: x64-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev8.7z. My application compiles fine with the official mingw32 release or msvc2010/32bits release, and even with my own qt5.0.1/msvc2012/64bits build. But I can't seem to be able to compile with qt5/mingw64...

I have plenty of errors like that:

I have tried many things.. no way. Any idea what I am doing wrong with the setup?
