Finally trying to answer...

Thank you so much for offering help!

I recently added tiny information on the wiki on how I build for windows...
https://community.kde.org/Kdenlive/Development/WindowsBuild
unfortunately you have to run Linux for that /o\

In the short term, I was thinking of uploading an "SDK" archive like shotcut, 
with all the headers needed to build Kdenlive (the dynamic libs beeing 
available with the binaries).
However you still would need CMake, pkg-config, and maybe other tools, probably 
using MSYS.
That way you could use all the dependencies MXE provides, and debug/rebuild 
only Kdenlive (and/or MLT ?), either with mingw (tested with corss-build) or 
MSVC if you prefer (never tried, expect patching) ?

Then I started to prepare building with Craft (mainly missing : MLT & deps + 
full featured FFmpeg), but this is on hold for few days. This would allow to 
rebuild everything natively on Windows and allow automatic builds on KDE infra.

Another solution I considered was building libs & app with MSYS' makepkg, but 
we would again be out of KDE common tools :\

How would you prefer to proceed ?
Are there other candidates & suggestions from the list ?

Cheers,

Vincent
