I am trying to compile an altcoin based on Litecoin. I've successfully compiled it for Linux but struggle with Windows compiling. I'm most comfortable compiling on Linux and have tried to create the Windows executable using Ubuntu and other Linux flavors, but so far to no avail.
My latest attempts make use of the
M Cross Environment. I have installed this and follow
this approach, but when it runs this is the output:
$ ~/mxe/usr/i686-pc-mingw32.static/qt/bin/qmake && make

Has anybody achieved compiling litecoin-qt on Linux using MXE? Is another approach recommended? So far it's a real pain. I am just not sure where this error comes from or where to search for solutions.
Thanks for any advice.
