MinGWing Qt Source

[qtoptus]

Want to build Qt.5.2.1 using MinGW 4.8.1 32 bits
Any resource how to do this?

Thanks.

Besides the title it contains enough info for the 32bit build.
If you don't need the QtWebKit don't build it. It is much faster (and easier).

Thanks. Tried it, and in the middle of a lengthy compilation it FAILED. Every these people test building anything other than M$ Visual Studio?
Very disappointed! :(

Well, obviously. How do you think the MinGW package (http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.2/5.2.1/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw48_opengl-5.2.1.exe) would created without building it?

Cheers,

But compilation fails after following instructions. Would be great if they have up to date builds for different compiler versions.

It would be nice if instead of repeatedly saying "it doesn't work" or "very disappointed" you actually worked the problem. Qt clearly can be built with A full MingW environment containing GCC 4.8 or later - that is how the binaries that are distributed are produced.

The Qt project provides a fully built MingW build in binary form using GCC 4.8.2. Since this version is binary compatible with GCC 4.8.1 it should be possible to use these binary libraries with your compiler without having to build
your own from source.
