[Qt-interest] Getting Openssl working in windows

[Simarillion]

Thanks, but I wasn't successful.

I want to use openssl with QtCreator on Windows, so I have to compile with 
MinGW I think. Is there any tutorial for that? I have only found Tutorials for 
Visual Studio, ...
Do I have to recompile entire Qt or can I somehow only recompile QNetwork?
In my Openssl installation I have the following libs and I don't know whitch I 
have to use:

C:\OpenSSL\
libeay32.dll
libssl32.dll
ssleay32.dll

C:\OpenSSL\lib
libeay32.lib
ssleay32.lib

C:\OpenSSL\lib\MinGW
libeay32.a
ssleay32.a
libeay32.def
ssleay32.def

C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC
libeay32MD.lib
libeay32MDd.lib
libeay32MT.lib
libeay32MTd.lib
ssleay32MD.lib
ssleay32MDd.lib
ssleay32MT.lib
ssleay32MTd.lib

C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC\static
libeay32MD.lib
libeay32MDd.lib
libeay32MT.lib
libeay32MTd.lib
ssleay32MD.lib
ssleay32MDd.lib
ssleay32MT.lib
ssleay32MTd.lib
