building win32 windows binary .exe file in ubuntu/linux.

[regtable69]

i have spent hours trolling google and various other sites to try and get a linuc source built into a windows qt file. i have tried around 6 different ways from mingw to qt creator in linux and windows and none seem to work. can anyone suggest a good tutorial for this???

iv got a feeling this should work and i must be doing something wrong

why not use a windows virtual machine

if you don't want to use gitian, you'd need to rev engineer how gitian does it and then do the same:
from what I see, it uses "mingw-w64" and "g++-mingw-w64"
