Building with mingw
Using QtCreator, import this project via its .pro file and enable a mingw build kit.
SSL DLL files required at runtime
After building, it will be necessary to include some .dll files that will be needed during runtime. Copy these into the build directory alongside the compiled .exe file.
C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\opt\bin\libeay32.dll
C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\opt\bin\ssleay32.dll
Distribution
Creating a distribution archive from scratch involves invoking windeployqt.exe.
First, find this file. On my system, it's located at C:\Qt\5.9.9\mingw53_32\bin\windeployqt.exe. The preceding file path should match the Qt version and mingw version used to compile (e.g. the 'kit' mentioned above).
Invoke this with the arg --qmldir pointed to the res/qml directory of our source tree. The final argument should be a compiled .exe file or a directory containing such a file. It's best that this be an empty directory containing only this file, so that our eventual archive (e.g. .zip file) wraps a single directory.
C:\Qt\5.9.9\mingw53_32\bin\windeployqt.exe --qmldir ..\..\loki-network-control-panel\res\qml .
windeployqt should fill out the directory with a bunch of dependencies, but it will likely be missing some. Based on a diff, these are:
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
libstdc++-6.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
These should be located alongside the windeployqt.exe from above.
Copy these files into the distribution directory, as well as the SSL DLL Files mentioned above. At this point, all required files should be present. Create an archive of the directory and we're done.
