Generating an exe file from a Qt project on fedora

See the earlier links about how to set up a cross compiling enviroment if you really want to build Windows executable on a Linux machine. It is generally much easier to just move the Qt project source code to build enviroment on Windows and build it there.

I have tried that before but it didn't worked for me

You better install the same Qt version in windows machine, and open this project in Qt windows and build it. You will get the .exe, decide yourself about static/dynamic linking of libraries and dll's.

i am afraid that this is impossible for my situation because my project uses some libraries that are only included in an OpenSUSE OS
i need to cross compile the project simply but the "API" for windows an mac os are missing from my cross compiler !!
i think that's my problem

If you are building an application for a Windows environment and it needs some library to function then you have to also have a Windows version of that library. That requirement is unchanged by where you are building the Windows application; on a Windows machine or cross-compiling on a Linux machine. Cross compiling for a Windows target will not make a Linux-only library magically work on Windows.
