    Where can I find that Information? I just downloaded the community-license version. In Qt Creator->Help->About it says:
    Qt Creator 3.3.0
    Based on Qt 5.4.0 (MSVC 2010 32 bit)
    Built on Dec 08.2014 at 15:24:21
    Revision d36c4d87db

    Is that what you wanted to know?

      In part, the other is: which package exactly did you install ? There are severals available (the name of the file will be enough)

        You mean the filename of the Qt installer? Sorry but I don't have that file anymore. I just took the suggested. When I download it again it suggests qt-opensource-windows-x86-online.exe so I guess that's the right one.

          So it's the online installer, then, in your Qt installation you should have a folder name Qt_something for the version you installed, can you tell me what the name looks like ?

            Uhm unfortunatley I decided to call it just "Qt" during the installation process :/
            Inside that folder there are some folders called

                    MSVC ? MinGW ?

                        No problem, then when calling cmake you should set the generator to "MinGW Makefiles"

                          Ok. make -G "MinGW Makefiles" c:\qca_2-1-0\ says

                          CMake Error: Error: generator : MinGW Makefiles
                          Does not match the generator used previously: NMake Makefiles Either remove the CMakeCache.txt file and CMakeFiles directory or choose a different binary directory.

                          Should I remove the suggested file?

                            Yes, you can empty the folder you used

                              But this is the cmake folder c:\cmake.
                              Do I only have to delete that file or can i specify a folder and how?

                                Don't call cmake from there.

                                Call it either in a build folder inside QCA's sources or at the same level as the sources

                                  Ok I copied cmake into the qca folder and it said

                                  C:\qca_2-1-0>cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" c:\qca_2-1-0\

This may result in binaries being created in the wrong place. If you are not sure,
                                  reedit the CMakeCache.txt

                                  Then I copied QCA into a folder inside of the cmake folder and it says

                                    Don't fiddle with these folders like that

                                    @
                                    cd C:\qca_2-1-0
                                    mkdir build
                                    cd build
                                    C:\cmake\bin\cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"
                                    @

                                    And it should start setting things up.

                                        You are writing "Makefiles" wrong the f is not uppercased

                                          Now I get a new error. Inside the build folder there is a new file called CMakeCache.txt and a new folder called CMakeFiles in wich is also a new file called cmake.check_cache.
