Step by step instruction to build Qt 4.7 Windows from git

 

I figured out how to pull and update Qt from git and build it on OS X. Now I have a hard time doing the same on Windows. I am a Windows development newbie.

The doc on building it on Windows seems to assume I have every other tools needed installed already. Well, I don’t and I don’t even know what they are. Some of the mentioned tools are even pricy commercial ones.

Is there a more up to date and open source friendly instruction on building Qt from git on Windows? Specifically using mingw tool chains. I am using Creator for my project so mingw is already installed with it.

Thanks.

Hm, AFAIK, nothing except mingw is needed for base version of Qt. Of course you need MySQL dev files, OpenSSL dev files or something else for different additional things (database driver plugin, sslsockets and so on).
