If you really have no idea whatsoever, maybe follow a tutorial (http://www.androdna.com/programming/QtTutorial/tutorial_1.html) ?

the tutorial you reffered....http://www.androdna.com/programming/QtTutorial/tutorial_1.html
explains......
The normal procedure for installing this library is to download (use CVS to get the Qt4 version) and compile it (at a DOS prompt, type qmake and then make). This will compile the library and generate a dll.
but how??
now how to so this??

You can download precompiled version for Windows, so you don't have to build it yourself.
There is nice explanation on the library site, here you'll find how to write example app using this library: link (http://www.androdna.com/programming/QtTutorial/tutorial_3.html)
You are using windows, right (your profile pic) ?

But first of all - do you know how to use external library with Qt project ?
