    Default Qt for mingw

    Is there a commercial Qt for mingw?
    And why there are two different verision of qt in the windows?one for vc, one for mingw.
    Does lib build by mingw cann't be used by Visual studio user?

    Please give me some hint , thanks in advance!

    You can compile the commercial source package with mingw, just like you can compile the open source package with visual studio.

    That's a natural choice for precompiled binary packages. The commercial version of Qt has been precompiled with a commercial compiler, the free version of Qt has been precompiled with a free compiler.

    Right, a lib built with mingw cannot be used within visual studio, at least directly. There are some conversion tools out there but it probably wouldn't work for such a complex entity as Qt.
