I understand that you have a Qt application, and you are able to compile it on OpenSuse using QtCreator, and you want to create a windows binary of the same application on OpenSuse.

The most hassle free method of doing this is to install the Qt SDK (and QtCreator, if need be) and compile your code on a windows machine.

If not, take a look at http://silmor.de/29.

UPDATE: in response to your comment:

in that case you need to cross compile your code on linux for windows. (you obviously know this, as you have tagged your question well).

  1. You need to install MinGW on linux: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/LinuxCrossMinGW
  2. Now follow the instructions on this link (link recovered from http://silmor.de/29).

This should be all.

  • The link which u ve given say abt cross compiling QT/Windows Application on Linux... But i would need to know vice-versa... – suse Jun 18 '09 at 10:26
  • Short answer: No. Long answer: No, but you can generate .exe if you follow the steps in the answer. – jrharshath Jun 18 '09 at 11:44
  • thanks for info... but a small question.. if we have to create .exe in Linux , should i cross compile Linux or cross compile Windows. Pls pls reply... i'm in great confusion.. :( Pls help – suse Jun 22 '09 at 05:56
  • Okay, I think some clarification is in order: if you want to create a windows binary (.exe) on any development environment other than one based on Windows, you are cross compiling. Actually the term "cross compile" has come from cross compilation for different hardware platforms, like compiling x86_64 code on an x86 machine. – jrharshath Jun 22 '09 at 06:00
