Qt authors released Qt 5, unfortunately no MinGW packets (yet?).

Have you tried compiling with the Microsoft compiler?  I believe you can get a free edition (Visual Studio Express?) that should be sufficient to compile on the command line and via QtCreator.

I did try a build of MyndPlayer with msvc last year.  I remember it only required a few changes to start compiling, but I had issues linking with external libraries that I had to build with mingw and concluded it wasn't worth the hassle.

I'm planning to do a build of MyndPlayer with clang on Mac in the next couple of days.  I'm starting to use C++11 and clang would be the easiest way to support it on the Mac.  I'll let you know if there were any changes that needed to be made to the code to get it to compile.

I prefer to compile with MinGW, as there are some dll's in MSVC which I am not sure how I can distribute (I just want to copy them in the FET archive, but this may be not legal - Microsoft might rule that I need to run an msvcredist.exe instead).
