                                  <div>A few years ago dblain made a
                                    powershell script and a wiki page
                                    for compiling using Visual Studio. 
                                    I was able to successfully compile
                                    everything using master and the 2019
                                    Community version  (the free one) of
                                    Visual Studio.</div>
                                  <div><br>

                                  <div>The web page is here: <a

                                    It talks about QT with versions of
                                    Visual Studio newer than 2010 not
                                    working because QT doesn't have
                                    32-bit OpenGL support for newer
                                    versions of Studio.  It also says 64
                                    bit builds cannot be done because of
                                    lack of support for inline assembly
                                    in Studio.  However, I was able to
                                    compile a 64-bit version without
                                    compile issues, so perhaps the myth
                                    source has conditionals for that
                                    now.  Compiling a 64-bit app gets
                                    around the QT issue I assume.</div>
                                  <div><br>
                                  </div>
                                  <div>I had to do a few small fixups to
                                    get a good compile:</div>
                                  <div>- the tool set and platform had
                                    to be updated to 142 and 10 for a
                                    few .vcxproj project files (expat,
                                    exiv2, and libzmq)</div>
                                  <div>- there were a dozen .pro files
                                    that needed QT += widgets in them. 
                                    There was conditional code in them
                                    that was not adding them.  Not sure
                                    why</div>
                                  <div><br>
                                  </div>
                                  <div>I was using QT 5.13.0.</div>

    Hi Jerry<br>
    <br>
    I am using bintray.com to host Raspberry pi and android builds. You
    can create a free account there or I can create an organization on
    bintray for MythTV so that the raspberry pi, android and windows
    builds are all hosted together.  Let me know if you want to try
    that.<br>
