Here are our current notes for building the Windows client:

1. Download the Qt source from
ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-4.7.1-mingw.exe
2. Download the OpenSSL libraries from
http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_0c.exe
3. Download the X2go code from
http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/pool-heuler/x2goclient/x2goclient_3.01-14.tar.gz
4. Install the above EXE into a suitable location eg. c:\Build\Qt and c:
\Build\OpenSSL and X2go into c:\Build\X2GoClient.  Install the OpenSSL
DLLs to the OpenSSL binaries directory to make them easier to identify
for the NSIS script.
5. From the Windows Start Menu run Qt 4.7.1 Command Prompt
6. Execute Configure.EXE -static -release -openssl -I C:\Build\OpenSSL
\Include -L C:\Build\OpenSSL\Lib
7. Once the above has completed execute Mingw32-make sub-src
8. Download the libssh libraries from
http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/libssh/libssh-x2go.zip
9. Extract the ZIP file to a temporary location and the libssh.dll.a and
include files need to be copied to the mingw installation, eg.
include/libssh/* -> mingw/include/libssh/
lib/libssh.dll.a -> mingw/lib/
10. Cd C:\Build\X2GoClient
11. Copy x2goclientconfig.pri.client x2goclientconfig.pri
12. Edit Makefile.Release by adding "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++"
to the LFLAGS options
13. Qmake
14. Mingw32-make release
15. If all has worked a compiled client should now exist under the
Release directory
