Qt FAQ about how to cross compile using Qt Creator under Linux to a Windows executable.
I use the approach of example 15: MXE most. See MXE for more information about MXE.
These examples can be viewed as approaches. Some approaches fail, two are successful, some are unexplored or abandoned.
Example 1: Hello World, using i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
Example 2: Hello Qt, using i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
Example 3: Hello Boost, using i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
Example 4: any application, changing makefile
Example 5: any application, using Qt Creator -spec approach
Example 6: any application, using tweaked Makefile
Example 7: any application, using universal binaries
Example 8: any application, port to embedded linux adaptation
Example 9: any application, use of the moc variable
Example 10: any application, use of MinGW
Example 11: any application, use of GCC
Example 12: any application, use of crosstool
Example 13: any application, Bezemer way
Example 14: any application, NJH approach
Example 15: MXE
Example 16: any application, use of autotools
Example 17: any application, use of dpkg-cross
Example 18: Hello World, use of qmake argument '-spec win32-g++'
Example 19: Hello World, use of qmake argument '-spec cygwin-g++'
Example 20: Hello World, changing project file
Example 21: Hello Boost, changing project file
Example 22: Hello Qt, changing project file
Example 23: Hello World, using MinGW build script
Instead of cross compiling, code can also be ported from Linux to Windows using the tool Cygwin: Cygwin offers a UNIX-like environment, where compiling leads to Windows executables.
