Hi, I'm a software engineer working on a project integrating VAR-SOM-MX8 SOM (with NXP-IMX8QM controller).
I've been using Qt in my development environment, but I find the process cumbersome.
Currently, I need two different desktop computers, one for development (Windows) and one for compiling (Ubuntu Linux).
I'm seeking a way to streamline the process by downloading a cross-compiler kit for Qt-Creator on my Windows PC to compile directly for VAR-SOM-MX8.
My VAR-SOM OS is of Linux YOCTO for Variscite, NXP i.MX Release Distro 4.14-sumo (imx8qm-var-som).
Qt version I need this support is: 5.10.1
Qt Creator: 4.5.1 -

I had the same goal. I used Docker (Windows 10) and CROPS to run Debian container on Win10 to cross compile.
With a hefty machine (8-12 cores, 32 GB RAM) I am able to cross compile from Win10 to the target (Toradex Colibri) pretty easilyhttps://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/start.html#setting-up-to-use-cross-platforms-crops
