I tried building and cmake started generating a Makefile for Microsoft Visual 
Studio 2012, even though cl.exe was nowhere to be found on $PATH. So I told it 
to generate a MinGW Makefile and it told me "nah-ah, you have sh.exe on $PATH, 
so you want MSYS Makefile instead". But it didn't work for that, nor did the 
MinGW Makefile work when I opened cmd.exe.

It was a lot easier to cross-compile from Linux.

I can send you the DLL pair. I *think* the MinGW that Qt 4.8 comes with is 
compatible with the one that Fedora uses. I know for a fact that the next one 
for Qt 5.2 will not be, due to a binary incompatible change on the exception 
model.

About one year ago, there was a discussion of switching buildsystems. A few 
other people and I put a stop on it before the 5.0 launch. We definitely did 
not need the earth moving under our feet. But now that we're working on 5.2, 
it seems no one is interested in changing buildsystems.
