pacman -S git make tar mingw-w64-i686-gcc mingw-w64-i686-boost mingw-w64-i686-libpng mingw-w64-i686-openssl mingw-w64-i686-zlib

cd /c/dev/
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd.git
cd i2pd
git checkout openssl

export PATH=/$MINGW/bin:/usr/bin:/mingw32/qt5-static/bin

Caveats
It is important to restrict PATH as described above. If you have Strawberry Perl and/or Mercurial installed, it will pick up gcc & openssl from the wrong places.
If you are an Arch Linux user, refrain from updating system with pacman -Syu
. Always update runtime separately as described on the home page, otherwise you might end up with DLLs incompatibility problems.
Under Debian/Ubuntu
With Qt Creator
# Debian
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ make libcrypto++-dev libssl-dev \
libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libwebsocketpp-dev libqt5gui5 \
libqt5widgets5 git zlib1g-dev qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev
# Ubuntu
sudo apt install qtcreator qt5-default build-essential g++ make libcrypto++-dev \
libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libwebsocketpp-dev libqt5gui5 git \
zlib1g-dev
mkdir git
cd git
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-qt.git
Then, open Qt Creator; open git/i2pd-qt/i2pd_qt.pro
; set build make parameter
-jNUMBER-OF-CPU-CORES
, e.g. -j7
. Then, finally, press Make button.
Without Qt Creator
# Debian

mkdir git
cd git
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd-qt.git
cd i2pd-qt
For release build,
qmake
For debug build,
qmake i2pd_qt.pro "CONFIG += debug"
And when qmake
completed, run:
make USE_UPNP=yes

Building a Flatpak package
sudo apt install flatpak flatpak-builder
flatpak --user remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install flathub org.kde.Sdk/x86_64/5.14 # required SDK version might be higher, check the manifest at https://github.com/flathub/website.i2pd.i2pd/blob/master/website.i2pd.i2pd.json
git clone https://github.com/flathub/website.i2pd.i2pd && cd website.i2pd.i2pd
export FLATPAK_BUILDER_N_JOBS=4 # build process jobs count
flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean i2pd_build_dir website.i2pd.i2pd.json
