This repository contains static builds of Qt for Windows that are compatible with Bitcoin Core.
Please be aware this download is NOT an officially sanctioned Bitcoin Core distribution and is provided for developer convenience. It should NOT be used for builds that will be used in a production environment or with real funds.
Note: To build using a specific version of Visual Studio install the build tools package from here.
Note: To check which version of Visual Studio Appveyor is currently using see here.
Note: Optimise flags have been deliberately removed from QMAKE flags. This is an attempt to avoid ABI compatibility issues between minor updates of the msvc compiler. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-2015-2017?view=msvc-160.
