I recently downloaded Qt 4.8.2 . I see that the bin directory contains all DLL's and the lib directory contains the lib files necessary to build.
Now, when I run configure and nmake from a VS2010 command prompt (32 bit, so NOT x64/Win64 !), these DLL's and libs are rebuilt, and they are (slightly) different. Also, the lib directory now contains the DLL's as well.
1) Why are there differences in the delivered files and the rebuilt files (I think it cannot be explained only by included build date/time, there is more difference).
2) What's the use of having the DLL's (the same!) in both the bin and lib directories?
thanks
