[Mingw-cross-env-list] QGuiApplication: No such file or directory

[Absolute Zero]

Hi,
to cross compile my App (from Linux) to Windows, I installed MXE. However ,
when running the command to cross compile, I got this error:

***@lap:~/dev/Connekt2$

Seemed to me weird that QGuiApplication is not part of the source code, so
I ran this command:

***@lap:~/sources/mxe$ find usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/qt/include/
-iname "*appl*"
usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/qt/include/Qt/qcoreapplication.h

usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/qt/include/QtGui/QApplication
***@lap:~/sources/mxe$

And found that indeed, QGuiApplication source file is not included.

So, my questions are, does MXE has the same Qt version as the Qt company (
qt.io)? If not , is it possible to update Qt sources to (for example) 5.11
version and crosscompile successfuly?

Thanks in advance

Please see https://mxe.cc/#tutorial, especially "Step 5c".

In MXE "make qt" builds Qt 4. For Qt 5, MXE has a separate module as a
separate. Start with "make qtbase".
