Cross Platforming

Hey People,
Im a bit new to Qt.
Im running Qt 5.x in my Arch Linux. I wrote a basic text Editor.
Now i can easily build this program in Linux, but i want an executable for Windows, built from Qt5/X11.
So how do i do that!
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

If you are only using Qt and standard C++ features, you can try to cross-compile your application with the mingw cross-compiler (I don't know the corresponding package name for Arch, just for ubuntu).

Solution number 2 is to have a virtual machine with windows installed and the Qt 5 mingw package (it's the fastest way to get a working Qt environment up and running on windows) and build your software there.

Hope it helps

Thanks for your reply.
Ok i tried the method 2(before posting this thred), bt when i built it i got shuck in half way. I mean not stuck, my processor usage was still high bt it was taking ages, so i closed it(thinking there would be some other way around).

Did you compile from QtCreator ?

Then you have a compile panel that shows you what is happening. Have a look at it to see if there is something fishy going on
