        Hi,

        Not a strange question at all however you should give more details about that error you get.

          Hi
          Please also tell what Qt version you are trying with.
          As far as i know, theQt 5.6.3 is the last that can actually run.

            Message is "Input point not found!" and message window attached.0_1553465951125_XP_MinGW_Error.jpeg

            I use Qt 5.10.1 MinGW.

              Hi, Qt 5.10.1 is too new for Windows XP :-(
              I use 5.7.1 for some customers that are still onWindows XP.

                Hi
                Do you need to compile 5.7 yourself to get it working ?

                  @mrjj Morning. No distribution vanilla 5.7.1 works fine.

                  I keep a separate Windows 7 VM with Qt 5.7.1 MSVC2013 installed. I can update Qt Creator to the newest version, but 5.7.1 is "frozen".

                  Also, for MSVC2013 (but not for MinGW) you need this line in the .pro file:

                  QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS = /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01
                  

                  otherwise Windows XP will complain "Not an Win32 executable file".

                      @mrjj said in MinGW on XP?:

                      I'm not sure that it is true, as I remember that in Qt5.7.x where removed some Windows XP API (replaced to Windows Vista or even Windows 7)... Seems it was in networking support or something else (I not remember). So, It may work if you don't use that stuff...

                        @kuzulis is right, official 5.6.3 is the last release compatible with Windows XP. I've heard from some people here in the forum, that they use 5.7.1 on XP too, but there is absolutely no guarantee that it works.

                        Regards

                        Qt has to stay free or it will die.
