I am new to Qt. I have developed simple GUI using Qt creator on windows 7. But now i want to use the same GUI on Linux. I have gone through internet but could not find satisfactory answer. I know that i have to use cross compiler. But i do not know which cross compiler to use and how to use it. So how to build an .exe for linux from windows 7 platform??

  • The .exe is the binary for windows, you could run with wine in linux, but you can not use it directly, you should get a .elf cross-compiler, but I do not know a cross-compiler from windows for linux, I know what inverse that is mxe. – eyllanesc Sep 21 '18 at 05:17
  • it's going to be easier to get a linux machine, install QT and just build your project there. – john elemans Sep 21 '18 at 05:53
  • Concerning compile on Windows for Linux, I found [SO: C++ cross-compiler from Windows to Linux](https://stackoverflow.com/a/4770417/7478597). How this can be configured properly in Qt/QtCreator, I've no idea... (I've no experience with Qt creator but I expect that it should be able to create portable C++ code. We explicitly have chosen Qt to be able to make portable GUI code.) – Scheff's Cat Sep 21 '18 at 07:04
  • Look like i should build the project on Linux. Thanks for the help. – Digvijay khambe Sep 22 '18 at 07:29
  • I would not recommend cross-compiling unless you have no choice, or the target HW is way too slow to compile. Just install QtCreator on Linux and build it there. – smoothware Oct 03 '18 at 14:29
