**As we only build application for x86, install only dependencies for x86 architecture (i686 in package name)**
```
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain make mingw-w64-i686-cmake mingw-w64-i686-boost

- navigate to the project dir and build the app:
```
cd %MSYS_ROOT%\%USERNAME%\monero-core
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ..\ -r "CONFIG+=release"
mingw32-make release
