There is no more need to download some special installer from the Qt website, the standard MSYS2 package for Qt will do in almost all circumstances.

**Note:** There is a known issue that GUI won't lauch properly when building tag v0.12.6.0-aeon with Qt 5.11.2.

If your encounter issue with that, please remove current Qt by: `pacman -R mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5`

And install 5.11.1 instead by: `pacman -U http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-5.11.1-3-any.pkg.tar.xz`

5. Install git

```
cd aeon-gui
./build.sh
source ./build.sh release-static
cd build
make deploy
```

**Note:** The use of `source` above is a dirty workaround for a suspected bug in the current QT version 5.11.2-3 available in the MSYS2 packaging system, see https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/issues/1559 for more info.

The executable can be found in the `.\release\bin` directory.

I don't find this issue on my environment with msys2-x86_64-20180531.exe, which following README instructions, installed Qt version 5.10.1 and gcc version 7.3.0 (Rev2, Built by MSYS2 project) - done that fairly recently: Feb 2nd 2019

Edit: I didn't update the packages. Disregard this message.
