cd ring-client-windows
mkdir build && cd build
export QTDIR=<path to mingw qt> (e.g. /usr/[i686 | x86_64]-w64-mingw32/lib/qt)
git submodule init && git submodule update
cd libqrencode
./autogen.sh && ./configure --host=[i686 | x86_64]-w64-mingw32 --prefix=<Install dir of Ring and LRC>
make

In the client directory after having initialized the submodule
cd winsparkle mkdir build && cd build cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<LRC Directory>/cmake/winBuild.cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=Install dir of Ring and LRC> ../cmake", make make install - Compile the client with
