Next step.  I have built kmymoney5, but trying to build the installer,  
it says:

buildinfo is broken... it says:
unresolvable: nothing provides mingw32(libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll) needed by  
mingw32-cross-nsis
       nothing provides mingw32(libstdc++-6.dll) needed by  
mingw32-cross-nsis
       nothing provides mingw32(libwinpthread-1.dll) needed by  
mingw32-cross-nsis
       nothing provides mingw32(libz.dll) needed by mingw32-cross-nsis

I  can't tell why the 64 bit build is pulling in anything from mingw32.
