Are you saying that qt-linux-opensource-*-mingw* contains a toolchain too? You could also use the "It works with *this* toolchain" approach, similar to how you handle android and BB as they come with their dedicated SDK. > Fedora, for example, are not usable because they use SJLJ exceptions and we're > switching to DW2/SEH on Windows. According to [1], it's not mingw's fault, thoughts, I don't know who is responsible of "The Dwarf-2 EH implementation for Windows". If Qt switch to Dwarf-2 EH, it would mean that it will be incompatible with mimgw-w64, isn't it a big loose for Qt then? Does that impact mingw-w32 too? > It's probably best that the cross-compiled versions of Qt get distributed by > the same community that produces the mingw cross-compiler in the first place.
