    Default three set of dlls - which one to use in my program package?

    I have qt 4.5.1 installed on windows with mingw.
    I found that there exist two set of qt dlls like QtGui4.dll in my installation.
    a set of qt dlls in <qt dir>\bin and another set in <qt dir>\qt\bin.
    and there exists three mingwm10.dll files too. one in bin directory another in qt\bin and the other one in mingw\bin. they are different because their size don't match.
    I want to know:
    - why 2 or 3 of one dll exist and what is the difference between them.
    - which ones should I package with my qt programs.
    and I think all these make other users confused like me.

    I have Qt 4.5.1 installed too, But there is no such dir <qt dir>/qt/bin, I've got only <qt_dir>/bin.

    Did you run configure with some flags? and then 'mingw32-make', 'mingw32-make install' ?

    One set of Qt libraries is to run Qt Creator (as it is distributed with a bleeding edge functionality of Qt) and the other set is the "proper" 4.5.1 set of libraries that you should use.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Oh, that means FS Lover has installed not just Qt but Qt SDK. Got it.
