[Qt-interest] silly library question

[Gopalakrishna Bhat]

Hi,

The qt doc says that we should use it like

win32:INCLUDEPATH += $$quote(C:/mylibs/extra headers)

But I have used it like

D:\development\compilation\gloox-1.0\src\.libs\libgloox.dll.a

Note the extension .a that I am using. I think that mingw does not produce a
.ib fie(insted we should use .dll.a)

Also try using the same mingw compiler for the qt project and the curl
library.

With regards,
Gopalakrishna
