    Just as the title. I searched the google in which there are a lot of topics about how to create excutable Windows app in Linux, but not the opposite direction.

    I had a QT creator and made an app for Windows. How to let my app cross-compiled for Linux in Windows.

    Thanks in advance.

      You can have a look at "This article on stack overflow":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5675884/easy-way-to-cross-compile-a-qt-application-using-qt-creator/5676089#5676089

      Basically, I don't know if mingwin gcc allows you to cross-compile (never heard of that and I use visual here, I can't really mess with my environment to try), but the easiest is definitely to have a linux VM running, synchronized with your SCM: this way, you know what / when you build fairly easily
