I downloaded Code::Blocks, and I believe it includes mingw.

(I hope so, or maybe that's why my tutorial 7 aren't working...)

But I've been compiling all the previous tutorials.

If you are firewalled, then the 44mb download doesn't succeed in downloading MingW.

As far as I know it doesn't

By the way, don't you have any access to the firewall configuration?

Nope, just a user on a BIG system.

Well, I downloaded codeblocks-1.0rc2_mingw.exe which is about 13mb.

I'll be posting my problem in the newbie forum, so maybe just have a look there (for the tutorial 7 I can't compile)

Unfortunately you aren't right, there's no such a bundle. qt-win-opensource-4.1.0-mingw.exe is just a QT bundle, which can donwload and install MinGW for you.

Thats true, however, this Qt package (provided there is internet access) installed and configures Qt with MinGW, and saves you the hard work.
You only need to specify the Qt lib path and you need to do then is to start a porject and point it to a qmake made make file.
