You can get openSUSE RPMs for MinGW here: SUSE cross tool chain.

If you would like to cross compile Qt applications you can simply install Qt Creator for linux.
MinGW is minimalistic GNU for Windows, it would be a little redundant to try and run a Windows Cross-Compiler under linux would it not? Simply install the linux variant and cross-compile.

QtCreator is a full IDE. somewhat new still; but quite good and easy to use. – Javier Jun 17 '09 at 04:42

for cross-platform compiling, the easiest is to install QtCreator in all platforms. then you have the whole IDE, compiler and debugger, with the same user interface on all. – Javier Jun 17 '09 at 04:45

MinGW is a minimal package of GCC. Linux uses the full GCC.

No, MinGW is not a minimal package of GCC. MinGW (or mingw-w64) provides a (GCC) compiler for Windows as well as a cross-compiler (to get Windows binaries on Linux or other OS). – Mojca Jan 27 '16 at 21:59
