      Because there are no 32bit pre-build binaries for any compiler. Too much work for too few users. If you need 32bit Qt you have to compile it by your own.

        Is that right?But there is in QT 5.15.2, and most of the current mainstream software is 32-bit.Probably because of better compatibility

          @canid The downloads of the Qt binaries showed that there is no real demand for 32bit precompiled Qt so it was dropped to reduce the efforts creating all those binaries.
          What 32 bit OS comes in your mind?

            I'm using Windows 10 64-bit, but most of the software I install is 32-bit by default.I have encountered some government units still using 32-bit windows

              Do you program software for the government?

              If you want a 32 bit Qt, compile it by your own. There will be no 32bit pre-build binaries for Qt anymore.

                  You need at least MinGW 11.2 described here.
