Linux --> Windows CrossCompilation Error with QT Creator

Question

I want to do a cross compilation on Linux for a Windows use. I have download the compiler MinGW for C++ on my VM, I tried to set it up as a Kit, and here's the error I have :

Error: The compiler "MinGW (C++, ×86 64bit at /usr/bin/×86_64-w64-mingw32-g++)" (x86-windows-msys-pe-64bit) cannot produce code for the Qt version "Qt 6.4.1 GCC 64bit" (x86-linux-generic-elf-64bit).

Do I have to download an other version of MinGW? Which one then?

Thanks a lot !

Can you add more information how you're compiling? Which tool gives you those errors? — HolyBlackCat, Jan 27 '23 at 09:44
You need to use cmake or qmake compiled for crosscompilation — Pavel Gridin, Jan 27 '23 at 09:56
I am using QT Creator on Ubuntu, I want to compile on the Qt 6.4.1 GCC 64 bit. I have download the compilator MinGW(C++, x86 64 bit). The error appears when I click on "manage Kits" on the left of the kit I have created. (There's a red flag with a ! in it.) I use CMak 3.24.2 (Qt) — DamienDne, Jan 27 '23 at 10:01

I had the same issue on Arch. I think this "warning" is a bug. I just ignore that fact, and try build app. I wasn't get any errors, even was try to open output .exe in Windows and don't notice any issue.
