I can understand wanting to deploy software to a computer without internet, but why do you need to compile it there? Qt takes about 12 hours to compile on Windows, just so you know. It takes more like an hour to compile on Linux in VirtualBox.
I have some handy build scripts for cross-compiling Qt statically here: https://github.com/DavidEGrayson/nixcrpkgs Download them to a Linux machine of some sort, then install the Nix functional package manager (nixos.org). Then, in nixcrpkgs directory, run "nix-build -A win32.pavr2". This will build a mingw-w64 toolchain, then build Qt, and then build a particular application from it. It uses static linking so you get a totally standalone executable at the end, which could be transported to your Windows 7 machine. I think the build time will be around 2 hours when you are starting from scratch. It rebuilds things smartly: if you change the recipes and run the build command again, it will only build those packages whose recipe changed, or packages that depend on packages whose recipes changed. --David On Sat, Jul 1, 2017 at 2:26 PM, Maarten Verhage <m_r_verh...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Dear people of Msys2, > > > > I hope someone can help me out.
