    How do I compile and install the mingw-w64 version of qt on a MAC

    I looked in the documentation and I just saw the Linux, Mac, Windows version of qt,
    0_1548638810470_e0ef2444-01a8-4b14-b7d3-a6aab42611c1-image.png

    Does the mingw version of qt on Mac support official compilation?

      Hi @Linggo,

      MinGW is a Windows compiler. Do you want to cross compile Windows apps on your Mac?

      Qt has to stay free or it will die.

          @Linggo

          Then you will have to cross-compile Qt from source with MinGW. There are no pre-build packages available.

          Regards

              @Linggo

              http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/macos-building.html

              and probably also:

              https://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

              are the instructions for a "native" build. You will have to modify the steps yourself to cross-compile.

                @aha_1980 Thank you. So that means it's achievable, right?
                Let me try

                  I think it is manageable, however, I have never done such thing.

                  You could also have a look at this: https://mxe.cc
