Hi
I want to use an external library in a Qt project, but the libs have
been compiled with Visual Studio and I'm using MinGW. The source
distribution only supports Visual Studio on Windows. So, I want to build
the library on Windows with MinGW.
As I see it, I have to install MSYS and I obviously want to use the
MinGW installed as part of the Qt SDK installation. Unfortunately I am
not sure what I'm supposed to do. I thought that I would just download
MSYS and install it in C:\MSYS and configure it to use the current MinGW
(C:\Qt\2010.04\mingw\bin). However, there doesn't seem to be a download
for MSYS, but only for each "package". It seems the correct way is to
use the MinGW installer, which I downloaded. But it looks like it wants
to install the base MINGW by default. This means I will multiple
versions of MINGW which sounds like a potential problem (having libs
compiled with different version of gcc).
Any pointers on building external libraries with MinGW to use with Qt
Creator will be appreciated. I searched for pages regarding this, but
haven't been successful so far.
Thanks!
