How to get the lib files for linking on VStudio?

[thru]

After installing Qt4.7 + the current VStudio addin I am not able to find where to get or how to generate the lib files needed to link the project under VS.

I had the Qt4.5 + the vsAddin running perfectly but frankly I don't remember what I did when I installed them.
Can anyone give me a hint?

Did you install the release of Qt for Visual Studio? If so, the required lib files should be there.

Thanks for your reply. Is the "Qt SDK: Complete Development Environment" supposed to contain the lib files? or additionally I should install the Qt libraries 4.7.2 for Windows (VS 2008, 218 MB)?

By the way can coexist libraries for Mingw and VStudio? (Installing the VStudio libs would interfere with QtCreator compiling with gcc)

The Qt SDK contains pre-build lib files for MinGW, which is what is shipped with the Qt SDK. If you want VS compatible lib files you can either build them yourself, or download the pre-build lib files for VS.

Yes, you can install both MinGW and VS lib files, just put them in different folders and specify the location in your project.

No, it's meant for MinGW and not for MSVC.

You only need the latter.

If they are installed in different directories then yes.
