Building QT with cygwin.
-
I want to build my QT application using Cygwin instead of mingw.
If anyone has any idea to achieve this .Please help me out. -
Hi,
You should check with the folks that provide the Qt packages on Cygwin or directly use their Qt packages.

@Pawankumar I am using QT 6.2.7 on windows platform.

My recommendation stands.
-
@Pawankumar I have reached to QT support for this help but they don't have support for cygwin.
If anyone have done before they can help me out to build my application. -
@Pawankumar As already suggested: Did you check with the folks that are providing the Cygwin Qt packages ?
From a quick check, there's no Qt 6 packages over there and the Qt 5 packages are orphaned which make things even more complicated beside the fact that there was nothing done over there for the last 5 years.
So before trying to go further, why do you need cygwin in the first place ?

@SGaist I am currently developing a application linux which is using posix threads on ubuntu so the same code i want to in my application to run on windows but unable to do so because windows does not support it. So by using cygwin we can that I think so.

posix threads
Is this a hard requirement? If not you could use Qt threading capabilities like QThread and others.
-
@jsulm Yes as i want to keep my code same for both the platforms i.e linux and windows. And in linux i have used possix threads but in windows i am unable to do so. So cygwin is the best which can be used to it.

Then use QThread...

@Pawankumar Then why don't you simply use QThread?! Way easier to have code working on Linux and Windows (and MacOS) without the need to waste time with Cygwin...
