  • It is possible. I'm usually building my apps under Arch Linux for Windows using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-qt5-base-static. Of course this way of building it is not officially supported at all by upstream but it works for me using CMake and I guess qmake should work as well. I've also already created packages to cross compile against Qt 6. This is how the result looks like when one also bundles all other resources (and in this case even an application with in Go): https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray/releases/tag/v1.1.5
