How to compile a Windows binary in Ubuntu?

I have a Qt application that I can compile in Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and on Windows. However, I would like to avoid switching to Windows every time I want to compile the Windows version.

Is there a way I can compile a Windows Qt executable in Ubuntu with mingw32 or something?

Further, is there a way to integrate that compiler into Qt Creator?

There is a PPA (Personal Package Archive) for some people who are cross-compiling Qt and related software on Ubuntu for Windows. The PPA contains both the cross-compilers and the dependencies you will need to cross-compile Qt programs. If you look at the source packages there, I think you will be able to figure out how to configure your projects and build them.

If you most of your time spend coding with Qt on Linux (for example, Ubuntu), you may produce some experiment: install Wine, install Qt SDK for Windows with Wine and tried to build some simple project!

And if you don't like crazy things, which I wrote above, just use VirtualBox.
