I think Marius meant mxedeployqt: https://github.com/saidinesh5/mxedeployqt Which is related to MXE, which is another project I'm glad I've learnt today about: https://mxe.cc/ On Fri, Nov 26, 2021, at 9:58 AM, Joerg Bornemann wrote: > If there are a lot of people doing this we should consider raising > cross-compiling from Linux to Windows from "unsupported" to "community > supported" at the very least.

I do have access to Windows myself, but it's much better to just do everything without having to reboot the OS, specially to an OS that I rarely touch at all. I will definitely look forward to write about this in a blog post, because this kind of things are very convenient. I know some people who are very pleased of WSL for the same reason (reversing the host/target OSs, of course).
