compiling with Qt Creator on windows

http://librecad.org/cms/home/from-source/windows.html

Following the steps on the above page I ran into
 some compile error/warnings. The page said to
 report any issues with compiling.

Background:
---
Personally, I would prefer to stick with Linux but
 I would like to have some windows users (Vista/7)
 be able to view and toggle visibility of layers/blocks
 to print. Nothing I'm doing is mission critical, just for
 fun and as a hobby. Specifically, putting my entire
 property and structures/features in CAD. There is
 just a coolness factor to it all. I've come to the
 conclusion that having the latest/freshest build of
 LibreCAD is very nice so I've taken up the endevor
 to compile it myself. IT/Comp Sci background, use
 C++ mostly.

To build LibreCAD in windows is required "Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (minGW 4.4, 317 MB)"
version 5 do not work (at the moment)

I made some patches in source code to remove yours compiler error and many of the issues.

To build LibreCAD on windows read this:
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/blob/master/README.md

Prerequisites are boost & and Qt 4.7.x or 4.8.x
Qt 5.0.x are very recent and not supported at the moment.
About compiler Mingw are supported Visual C++ are not tested and you can found more errors and issues.

If you want, you can send patches to:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=342582&atid=1433846
or
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD

If you just want a more updated version (2013-01-28) you can found in this thread:
