Release Mode Compiler Terminated with a Terrible Exception

[waitingforzion]

Try using Qt 4.6 (it seems that you are using qt 4.5), maybe mingw bundled with previous versions was incompatible with Windows Vista.
Also try compiling your project from command line. Launch Qt Command Prompt (should be somewhere in your Start menu), enter your project's directory (cd "C:/Users/Guido/Documents/Learning/"), run "qmake -spec win32-g++ -r CONFIG+=release" and "mingw32-make -f Makefile.Release". If that doesn't make any difference, try to run just "qmake" without any parameters, and then run make command (the same as before).

It works. Thank you.

But now how do I build the same project for the linux platform, without running qmake on linux?

Why not use qmake? You'd have to write all build rules (including rcc, uic and moc) in a different build system (cmake, automake or (hard core) a Makefile) yourself.

If you want to build your project for linux on windows, I doubt that it's possible, but who knows (need to check gcc's command line arguments)?
But if you want to distribute sources of your application for building on linux, you can just run qmake on your development machine and distribute your project with makefiles that qmake generated. However, qmake makes some assumptions when generating makefiles, for example it's configured to use gcc as compiler by default, so if somebody tries to compile your project using generated makefiles, he might have to manually edit it if gcc is not installed. In this case the best way is to use 'configure' scripts, but I've never used them, so can't really help, sorry.
