You grab yourself a windows box, install the Qt SDK there and then do exactly as you do on Linux.

[Maheshwara]

I can't understand. I'm developed this for desktop. I want to create like an application and to install this or run this on windows platform. is any way to clear this?.

To generate a Windows executable you'll have to compile your application with a Windows toolchain (the same way you did with a Linux toolchain to generate a Linux binary).

This can be done either

• using a native toolchain on the target platform (as Tobias suggested) or
• using a cross-compile toolchain on the Linux platform (like MinGW).

There is no way to generate a single binary which runs on both, Linux and Windows. You will have to compile your application twice with different toolchains.

I'm cleared...

Ouch - time to open a "bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ :-) Seriously, this is a bug - everyone should be able to edit ones posts. You should indicate your operating system and browser (including versions). The Trolls will surely have a look.

[Rahul Das]
