keep getting error about windows.h with this script.

Found a much better way: use MXE. ( http://mxe.cc/#requirements-macos )After installing all the Mac prerequisites with Mac Ports, all I had to do was type "make" and it built everything, including mingw.

On Sierra, with latest xcode/command line tools/Mac ports, by the way.

Edit: Not to mention, your url for brew is wrong.

I use Homebrew for MinGW on Mac, "brew install mingw-w64".

@justinmreina, thanks for the brew suggestion. It worked fine, I'm on macOS 10.13.4

@justinmreina, same thing. Thanks for pointing to that. https://brewinstall.org/Install-mingw-w64-on-Mac-with-Brew/

Hey guys,
I'm kind of new to this and need the MinGW compiler on QT creator for a school project, the problem is that I use Mac. I downloaded the the brew files using terminal but I don't seem to be able to find mingw-w64 is my applications, although it appears as already installed on terminal. My question is, after you install all the brew files with terminal, how do you run the compiler and add kits on the actual QT app? thanks :)

@miguelfdian You need to set the environment variable CC to x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc or i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
