I need to compile my Qt application for Windows while I am using Fedora 14 which have binary packages for Qt Creator MinGW. I installed all the required cross compiling packages correctly and added the path for qmake as /usr/bin/mingw32-qmake-qt4. Qt Creator can't obtain enough environment variables to setup the required toolchain.
After little digging I discovered that Qt Creator calls the specified qmake path with the parameter -query to get these variables.
I found that calling /usr/bin/mingw32-qmake-qt4 -query directly gives the error ***Unknown option -query. So I guess Qt Creator is innocent.
Then I found that /usr/bin/mingw32-qmake-qt4 is not more than a symbolic link to the generic script /usr/libexec/mingw32-scripts that uses basename $0, rpm --eval, bla bla bla.
Now I got tired. Could any body come over this before?
