    Hi
    5.11.3 seems to be the last to include 32 bit mingw.

    You can compile a 32 bit version of 5.12 if you really need 5.12 32 bit.

      Yes i know but is there a way to make a 32 release from the 64 there is something like this here
      they add the -m32 to the compiler and it makes a 32 release and then tests by checking the

      sizeof(size_t)
      

      if it's 4 for 32 or 8 for 64, I already test by adding this to the argument in QT but it did not work

        @AmrCoder
        well the Qt DLL files are still 64bit and a 32 bit app wont load them.
        But yes, its the same thing as link show.
        You just have to compile ALL of Qt to get same effect :)

        I think using 5.11.3 might be faster than compiling a new Qt but
        if you already have all dependencies and a powerfull pc, its
        not the biggest task.

          the last question please, is there any chance for 32 version in the next versions QT 5.12.1 for example or it will be only 64?

            @AmrCoder
            Most likely only 64 bit.

                I download it and add it to my QT 5.12 and it worked perfectly, really I appreciated that many thanks for you <3 and i hope they make a 32 bit release in the next versions if there is a way we can make a suggestion because most of us need our apps to be in 32 bit release, Thanks again @nayk

                    Hi nayk,

                    I download it and add it to my QT 5.12 , but When i run the app i get some error about this:

                    qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "windows" in ""
                    

                    Where have I not set up?

                      I solve it by copying the folder of the 5.12.0\mingw73_32\plugins\platforms to the same folder that has the exe programe if there is a solution to solve it without this it will be better

                        @max.chen try copying the "platforms/qwindows.dll" file to the application subdirectory "platforms".
                        qwindows.dll - for release mode, qwindowsd.dll - for debug mode.
                        Other plugins libraries may also be needed for you application.

                          I compiled this version with OpenSSL 1.1.1a and put the necessary dll in the "_dll_for_app" directory (libcrypto-1_1.dll, libssl-1_1.dll). OpenSSL is used by Qt5Network for https connections.
                          MySql 5.6 - for MySQL Qt plugin
                          PosgreSQL 9.6.11 - for PostgreSQL Qt plugin

                            You should write a mail to the Interest mailing list or directly create a suggestion in Jira.

                            In either case, please provide a link here, so we can follow the discussion. Thanks!

                            Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                                the solution proposed by @nayk works very well, however this is a partial solution, because each time you want to update Qt, you need to build a new version of Qt for x32. I think there is a way to cross compile your application using mingw-64w, but i don't know how to do that. Maybe someone can instruct us how to do it!

                                  @KATO2 Why do you want to cross compile? Just use MinGW32 to build Qt.

                                        @KATO2 Correct. Nevertheless, that's compiling Qt from source, not cross-compiling.

                                        Qt has to stay free or it will die.
