    I know it is weird but I need to execute a Qt GUI application that supports X11 protocol on MS Windows platform. I want my application to be linked against X11 libraries and execute this application in Windows platform with X11 support.

    It is obvious that if I build my Qt source code in Unix environment it automatically becomes an X11 application but this application can be run only on Unix Operating Systems, not on MS Windows.

    Is there any way to develop Qt X11 application for MS Windows platform?

        What you need is Cygwin.

            Cygwin is not free. It is licenced under GPL or commercial license. We can not use GPL as it is an closed source application.

              bq. I need to execute a Qt GUI application that supports X11 protocol on MS Windows platform.

              Where is nothing said about development for X11 under MS Windows! Only about execution of X11 app under MS Windows! Exactly what Exceed do in perfection! Express yourself more clearly next time!
