I thought I'd learn something about making graphical programs and downloaded Qt5 with MinGW for Windows from the website. I've done the tutorial as here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/gettingstartedqt.html
However, upon building the project the following (likely n00bish thing) happens:
:-1: error: cannot find -lqtmaind
:-1: error: cannot find -lQt5Widgetsd
:-1: error: cannot find -lQt5Guid
:-1: error: cannot find -lQt5Cored
:-1: error: cannot find -llibEGLd
:-1: error: cannot find -llibGLESv2d
:-1: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
From what I gather this is probably something to do with how my setup is - although I would have thought downloading with MinGW would have prevented any issue with not having something or something being put in the wrong place. I also have code blocks on my machine and have been compiling .exe's whilst learning C++ without any issue.
