在什么情况下为Qt MinGW或MSVC选择什么编译器？

Question

I am starting with QT , using windows 64 bits I have MinGW already installed and I don't have VS .

• What version of QT should I pick ( MSVS or MinGW ) and for what purpose? Is there some cases where I must choose one over the another?

• I saw that the only Qt version for MinGW is 32 bits, however MinGW supports 64 bits too, why?

• Let say I want to develop a windows app and an android app, should I have to install both Qt's versions MSVC2015 and Qt for android ?

Answer 1

• You'd better install both of them. MinGW version for development and MSVC version for release.
• Because guys from Digia, who build Qt releases, desided that there's no need in x64 MinGW release. But you may get the sources and build it yourself.
• Yes, you need both.
