[Ctk-developers] getting things to work in windows

What are you trying to achieve here? do you want to use Mingw or Visual
Studio ?
I'm not a user of Mingw, but it seems odd that Qt installs Mingw on your
machine.
How did you install mingw ? do you manage to build other projects ?
If you want to use visual studio, then you need to get Qt for Visual studio
(if it exists) or compile qt yourself.
