How do I install and setup MinGW 4.6 for Qt?

I've been looking for precise instructions on how to install and setup MinGW 4.6 for Qt 4.7 to no avail. I have no clue as to which MinGW 4.6 packages I have to grab and how to set them up. Qt seems to provide a 'customized' version of MinGW 4.4 with Creator 2.1.0, so it's difficult for me to make an accurate guess based on it. Has anyone done this before? Which packages do I need?

Thank you.

Why not use the official Qt SDK with MinGW and everything you need included? If you don't like to install the SDK here is a list of the used packages that come with the SDK:

  • binutils-2.19.1-mingw32-bin
  • mingwrt-3.15.2-mingw32-dev
  • mingwrt-3.15.2-mingw32-dll

  • w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev

  • gcc-core-4.4.0-mingw32-bin

  • gcc-core-4.4.0-mingw32-dll
  • gcc-c++-4.4.0-mingw32-bin
  • gcc-c++-4.4.0-mingw32-dll
  • gmp-4.2.4-mingw32-dll
  • libiconv-1.13-mingw32-dll-2
  • mingw32-make-3.81-20080326-3
  • mpfr-2.4.1-mingw32-dll
  • pthreads-w32-2.8.0-mingw32-dll
  • gdb and libexpat-1.dll

That's a section from the manifest.txt inside the QtSDK\mingw folder, some of the packages are further modified or patched so I guess it would be much easier to use the SDK instead or maybe a different compiler. You can also use the Microsoft C++ Compiler (MSVC) besides others compatible with Qt.
