How to Compile NanoVNA-QT Source Code from Qt in Windows?

the compilation steps only available from Linux/iOS, but none for from Windows.. since my guess its developed in a way that Qt compatible, it must be possible to compile it from Qt Designer / Qt Creator. but project file linking them all is not available in the github source code, they are all scattered source code files that i dont know the correlation, which one is first, and which one connected to which... so can someone guide on how to compile this in Windows Qt-Creator/Designer? or at least guide me on how to manually handcraft the project file to link them all together? thanks.

For Windows builds, they give a way to do this as a cross compile from Linux. If you have a Linux box, that's the easy way of generating Windows binaries.

You can alternatively try building it using MSYS2 on Windows.

If you don't have a Linux machine but have Windows 10 or later, I would definitely try with WSL.
For this kind of purely  userspace, not network related tasks that's probably much easier than other alternatives.

I use win7 and no linux box.. i saw the compilation command sort of seeking eigen3 and ifftr library iirc from i dont know where, not in the source code.. so this complicate things.. maybe i'll wait for a pc to install linux in.. i'll study msys2 later..thanks guys.
