    If it is not already a Windows Qt application then it will depend on what source language it is and what OS it was written for.

            Sorry, no, that is not a question that can be answered in a forum like this. You will need to go through all the code and figure out where and what you need to change.

                    There must be some build output. No C++ or C code builds entirely silently.

                      Those two statements contradict each other. If the source code is already written to use the Windows API then what exactly will Qt gain you?

                          If you want to convert a program from using the Windows API to using Qt then you will have to go through the source code, find all the API calls and change them to their Qt equivalents. If you think it is possible to automate the process then I can only suggest a Google search.
