MXE (M Cross environment) is a platform that cross-compiles various tools for Windows from Unix systems.

MXE (M cross environment) is a Makefile that compiles a cross compiler and cross compiles many free libraries such as SDL and Qt. Thus, it provides a nice cross compiling environment for various target platforms, which

  • is designed to run on any Unix system
  • is easy to adapt and to extend
  • builds many free libraries in addition to the cross compiler
  • can also build just a subset of the packages, and automatically builds their dependencies
  • downloads all needed packages and verifies them by their checksums
  • is able to update the version numbers of all packages automatically
  • directly uses source packages, thus ensuring the whole build mechanism is transparent
  • allows inter-package and intra-package parallel builds whenever possible

Building Qt 5 on Linux, for Windows

I wanted to migrate my Qt 4 app to use Qt 5 instead. These instructions failed, due to some differences with how MXE builds Qt 5, including the fact that it uses modularised Qt tarballs, instead of one large tarball.
