[SOLVED] QT error: cannot find libs

Issue

Hi tried to set up my environment to run QT 4.8.3 aimed at the GCC compiler (so reading the .a files) The problem is it is now throwing the errors:

:-1: error: cannot find -lQtGuid
:-1: error: cannot find -lQtCored
collect2.exe:-1: error: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Maybe it can’t find the core and gui dll’s? My environment variables point to the 4.8.3 bin directory? Am I missing anything?

Solution

My project was set up with the msvc compiler when in fact I had configured Qt for mingw g++ so I switched it to the GCC compiler.
