With Qt 5.11 it seems we can finally drop MSVC2013 so we could
"temporarily" add MinGW 64 bit pre-build binaries in our packages in
addition to 32 bit ones and remove 32 bit MinGW pre-built binaries
from 5.12 onwards. Making this decision now would complete this
discussion finally and still give users time to move from 32 bit to
64 bit ones...
Hi Jani,
adding MinGW 64 bit sounds great. I would prefer to keep the MinGW 32
bit ones too, because there are several projects which are plugins to
host applications in 32 bit. So sometimes its not in the scope of the
developer to change his project to 64 bit. Please keep that in mind.
I fully acknowledge this!
I personally use MSVC2017 together with MSVC2015 32 bit binaries for the
published product. But I regularly use MinGW for daily development.
Other people might prefer MinGW over MSVC for published products though.
So 32 bit software projects are still very common on Windows platforms.
And not to forget, 32 bit Windows programs run without problems on 64
bit Windows systems; the opposite is not true.
Best regards,
André
