Mingw bin lib folders

Hi guys,

I just download QtSDK offline for win and installed it on my machine, but there are not those folders such as bin,lib,include etc under the mingw folder. just imports and mkspecs folders.
what should I do to add those folders, do I need to install Qt library or anything else? thanks in advance.

I just did some research on the forum and google. some guys said there is no mingw build for Qt 4.7.4. are they right and if so, how can I do to create those new files?

you can download the Qt 4.7.4 source zip file, extract it and build it by hand.

MinGW is the default build on Windows. If there is no MinGW toolchain you most probably just didn't install them. Open the SDK maintenance utility and make sure you've installed them.

you should look in:

<QtSDK directory>\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\mingw

<QtSDK directory>\mingw

nothing is wrong, just someone puts the wrong contents in the wrong folder

Well, it looks like I was right, wasn't I?
