[Qt-interest] FW: Compiling Qt Creator for QWT

Thanks. I had been using the snapshots, those are obviously built against
mvsc.
Downloading now, hopefully will all work.

PS : Thought your name looked familiar. And then I clicked, you wrote the

There is a version of the Qt SDK including QtCreator and MinGW all built

If you start with that, your problems should be much fewer.
