- jsheard 10y agoI'm not him, but the official Qt MinGW builds don't have 64-bit or static variants. MSYS2 has both.
- martell 10y agoMSVC is the main target for windows for qt5. They do provide a mingw version to support the community of devs and are great for accepting code upstream. With most projects however mingw targets are often somewhat neglected and broken even with release versions in some subtle ways. Our Mingw packages are actually used more broadly by devs on a daily basis and tested regularly by a package manager with other projects that depend on qt5. Fixes end up in msys2 before they reach qt5 upstream because of that, some times we have too many as you can see here. https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-qt5 https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-... We also have static builds and 64bit support for the mingw-w64 target as previously mentioned by jsheard
