Actually changing qmake path to C:\Tools\Qt4\bin\qmake.exe helped (one of those
kinds of magic that really suxx). In addition it appeared that I didn't have
mingw32-make.exe in my installation on MinGW, because it is never installed by
default. So I have to add MinGW distribution installed by Qt to PATH.

installation is correct.

Well, the last message was due to the absence of Qt4Core.dll in PATH. Added it
as well, but isn't it qmake what should have added it automatically?

Error: C:\Tools\Qt4\mkspecs\default\qmake.conf: macro 'QMAKE_CFLAGS_THREAD' is

Now the famous QMAKE_CFLAGS_THREAD. I doesn't seem that patching Qt4 is a good
idea, but there is no other choice so far.

At least I've managed to start compilation! Well, it took about 2 hours with
your hints. Good I've stumbled upon this group. Still waiting another 30 minutes
to complete compilation.. I guess I have to check it tomorrow. 

Thanks for support. Tomorrow I'll start with QScintilla and hopefully I will see
Eric by Wednesday. =)
