Qt6? That is not (yet) supported/required by KMyMoney. Should be working with Qt 5.9 to 5.15 AFAIU. > So I wondered what is the best approach.

Instructions on craft can be found here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows >From what I understand, it now requires either MinGW or MSVC2019. I have tried >it lately with MSVC2019 but my VM was slow and I am not so familiar with the Windows details. I got it to compile at some point but was not able to create an installer in it. Maybe, you have more luck. Ralph Habacker maintains a cross-compile build on OBS (OpenSUSE Build Service). So a cross compile is also possible. This works using MinGW > What environment do you use to build windows binaries? Since my home is windows free (at least in terms of computer OSes) except the above mentioned VM, I don't do full windows based builds. My test above was enough to create the libofx.dll and copy that onto a windows machine where I had installed KMyMoney from https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/KMyMoney_Release_win64/ It fails to compile, but that seems due to some Akonadi problem (dependency). Hope that helps. If you get something working, I am happy to verify instructions on how to set it up with detailed instructions on my VM. -- Regards Thomas Baumgart https://www.signal.org/ Signal, the better WhatsApp ------------------------------------------------------------- The shortest words, namely yes and no, require the most thoughts. -- Pythagoras of Samos -------------------------------------------------------------
