How to make QT produce executable for Windows on Mac?

I'm writing my app on QT and I've produced a working version on my mac. How can make QT also compile an executable for windows?

A good start would be MinGW for OSX. It should allow you to build Windows applications on OSX.

There are more detailed instructions in another question: How do I configure Qt for cross-compilation from Linux to Windows target?

Qt SOURCE is compatible to Windows, Mac, Linux, ARM and other platforms.

Qt BINARIES are platform-specific. You cannot compile an .exe on the Mac, and hope to run that binary .exe on Windows or Linux.

You'll need to cross-compile, or actually install the Qt SDK and compile on each target platform, for each different kind of .exe.

Here's a tutorial on cross compiling http://web.me.com/dove_family/martin/cross_compile.html

Or you can get a windows machine or virtual machine. Build your app with a compiler on windows and link with the windows QT libraries. For compilers you can use Visual Studio, or MinGW
