<![CDATA[Qt for xp]]>Please excuse any factors entered here which are dumb, but am new to this arena so any failing are pure ignorance.
I am looking to install QT on XP 32bit old laptops with MINGW, on looking at this it appears I will have to install QT v5.6.3 which is the latest to support XP and MINGW 4.9, although QT will have to be recompiled/rebuilt as it does not automatically support XP.
My main requirement is can anyone of the community provide a step by step on how to achieve this requirement, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for all your help

By the way it's Qt, QT stands for Apple QuickTime which you are likely not interested in.

I am sure you have much more experience than I on this, when I tried to run the 5.6.3 kit direct it said not valid app, hope this clears my position

AFAIR, you don't need to rebuild Qt. One possible way to get started is to use the offline installer which should provide what you need. However, I don't remember whether the Qt Creator version provided will run on XP.
