Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] problems compiling qtbase with mxe

[hagen wegner]

Hi Tony,

I changed the settings.mk and modified the expat.mk file.   The load and build 
ran fine this time, so thank you very much for your help !

The compile of my project did not work following instructions here: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14170590/building-qt-5-on-linux-for-windows/14170591#14170591
 .  The path to the g++ compiler and linker were not in the Makefile.   After 
adding those by hand the compile worked fine but the executable started on 
windows doesn't work.   Simply does nothing.   But I think this has nothing to 
do with the cross compile environment as such.

Maybe you can answer the question regarding qt: the cross compile qmake creates 
three makefiles: Makefile, Makefile.Debug and Makefile.Release.   Which one do 
I have to use?

Regards,
Hagen

 docs should
 generally be disabled, `--without-docbook` added in:

 By default,
 it will build 32-bit static. Use:
 
     make
 MXE_TARGETS=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static 
 
 or set the targets in `settings.mk`
 
 Cheers,
