Yes with MSVC's lacking C++ features MinGW clearly has a chance to 
become *the* C++ toolchain on Windows but at the moment it's really 
crappy. There are of course use cases where MinGW is a good choice but 
for building Qt applications I see no reason to use it.

Not really helpful.
This is what I do to build Qt Creator using MSVC 2008 and Qt 4.8:

(Qt Creator source is in .\creator, build dir is .\creator-build)

cd .\creator-build
qmake -r ..\creator
jom (or maybe jom release)

What are your steps to build it?
