Do you have access to a Linux system?

It looks using a Linux virtual machine would be the easy path, see the following discussion: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/16474[^].

Well... set up your compiler to and IDE onto your Linux machine (if you use an IDE). Now, you'll have to rebuild your Qt libraries for Linux, that should be in their documentation (although I have noticed their documentation kind of sucks). Once you have built the libraries, configure your IDE (or makefile) to compile your project using the Qt libraries.

As a sidenote, IDE's work with the compiler by essentially making a makefile (or similar) that is then fed to the compiler to tell it what to compile and what options to use (same with linker). You'll have to essentially recompile/link Qt and your project on your Linux target OS.

If you need more specific help, post more specific details in regards to where you're stuck.
