I did it in the past and it is doable. However, I must also say that Windows is not my preferred platform for development. So for years I'm now conducting my Windows builds also on GNU/Linux, specifically Arch Linux where I maintain packages for cross compilation including static variants: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=mingw-w64-qt5 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=mingw-w64-qt6 I spend some effort so static linking works also for Qt's dependencies so that the final executable only depends on libraries provided by Windows itself. However, I must also say that this kind of cross compilation is not supported by upstream. > I would like to have virtual machines or Docker containers that allow > me to build Qt statically for all prior mentioned platforms.

I personally just use an Arch Linux machine directly but it would of course be possible to use Docker (like https://github.com/mdimura/docker-mingw-arch). Of course you can also just use the Arch PKGBUILDs as a template to create your own build scripts and just run them under any distribution. There's of course also https://github.com/mxe/mxe which also allows to make a static Qt build. I suppose they lack Qt 6 builds, though. I'm also not sure whether there's a binary repository (at least provided by some community member). For native compilation under Windows MSYS2 is also an option. Not sure how well their static variants work, though. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
