Dear Norbert and David, I would like to thank you for your suggestions. It has been awhile since I build Qt. Earlier I did build it with MSVC. But now I realised the Qt library also provided make specifications for GCC. I have to say in my eyes this is the most straightforward way of building Qt 5.3.2. All I did was: configure –opensource –opengl desktop –debug-and-release –static –platform win32-g++ -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtscript in a normal Windows command prompt on the Qt folder. Followed by: mingw32-make I am happy this resulted in a succesful build.
