Folks, I've got problems following this Building Qt 5 on Linux, for Windows and the dozen of other answers here or on other sites didn't help that much.

As suggested by the answer there, I did this: -installed git, not from the link there though, it didn't work. -installed build dependencies

Now I'm stuck at the third part where it says "Build QT 5 for Windows: ". What does this actually mean? I don't know how to go about it! I tried running that command there ("cd mxe && make qtbase") but there was just an warning (error) ...no such file or directory.

From searching around I kinda figured that I need to "rebuild" (?) qt5 somehow but I'm not sure what this means or how it can be done.

My first time asking here. From what I read on the rules of this site (someone should write a book about those) this question will be closed as dupplicate but on the other hand bringing old questions back to live is discouraged too so I didn't know what to do. Anyway if this does violate any of those rules that I didn't have the time to read feel free to remove/delete it or just a comment and I'll do it myself.

My system. An old PC, lubuntu x32 installed, 2 gb of ram.

  • Did you run `git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git`? This downloads the sources of MXE from GitHub. Then `cd mxe && make qtbase` should work as well. – tynn May 24 '15 at 20:04
  • I uninstalled Linux for the time being and installed windows 7. I felt that this task (crosscompiling) was way over my head. Thank You for your time though. – hack_off May 26 '15 at 10:12

you should write full path to the mxe directory, like

cd /home/username/path/to/qt/mxe

that's somewhere under the path that you used to clone repository into

  • I can't find anything that even resembles mxe under the qt directory. I'm very, very new to linux, just started using it a couple of days ago so forgive my ignorance. Thanks for the answer. – hack_off May 22 '15 at 17:52
