I wonder why the linux version doesn't work with mingw. Likely because the Linux version of Qt makes POSIX & X11 calls which don't exist under Windows. So we need to start with the Windows version of Qt which uses the Win32 APIs, but that will have a build system that is only applicable to Windows. Actually the above is mostly speculation, but is typically the case for such things, and is the reason why cross-compiling is a non- trivial exercise.
