no .lib files.

[arjoshi]

hello:


I recently downloaded and installed QT 4.7.2 (with MingW installed separately as opposed to from the QT installer - but I don't think there is any mismatch since I downloaded MingW from QT's website ). I find that in the lib folder there are .a files not .lib files. What should I do?
Also there is no qconfigure.exe/configure.exe . I also dont see a "QT COmmand Prompt" in the start up menu. I am running windows 7

Please help.

".lib" files are for MSVC and not MinGW. The latter uses ".a" files.

Yes I am aware of that. The thing is, I want to use MSVC. But there are *no .lib* files in my installation which I can use with MSVC. (all though there are dll files) That is the problem.

I downloaded (from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads) The file titled:

"Qt SDK for Windows* (322 MB) "

So you need Qt built for MSVC. The dll files that are present there are useless for you as your compiler will not understand them.

I downloaded (from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads) The file titled:

"Qt SDK for Windows* (322 MB) "

Then download the one that has "MSVC" in its name.
