Porting Qt Program to Windows

I am attempting to port a Qt application from Linux to Windows. I do my development in Linux with just qmake in terminal and .pro files.

When I import the project into QtCreator it asks for paths on where to place debug and release output. What is the purpose of this? Can I configure my .pro file to give it this information straight away?

My second questions is when the project has been imported QtCreator creates another file named project.pro.user. What is the purpose of this?

Third question is once I have successfully imported the project and go to compile I get the following linking error 'LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\Qt\Qt5.0.0\5.0\msvc2010\lib\Qt5Widgets500.lib''. I have checked and the file it is after is not there but there is a 'Qt5Widgets' lib file.

I am running this on Windows XP using Qt 5.

Thanks in advance.

clock.pro

CONFIG = qt \
         debug

QT += widgets

include(include/headers.pro)
include(src/sources.pro)

DEPENDPATH += include
INCLUDEPATH += include
VPATH += src
DESTDIR = bin
MOC_DIR = tmp
OBJECTS_DIR = tmp
QMAKE_DISTCLEAN = -r bin tmp

TEMPLATE = app

TARGET = Clock

For the first question: in an IDE like QtCreator you can have several configurations (with different compiler options). Default configurations are Debug and Release. Each configuration is compiled into a separate directory.

For the second question: There are (personal/local) project settings that one usually wants to keep for oneself and does not want to share with others, e.g. one's current debugging settings like command line parameters for starting the program. These settings are kept in a separate project file, which is usually not committed to a version control system.

For the third question: This might be a bug / misconfiguration for Qt5. I have no experience with this yet.
