Apologies for posting this here guys but I am struggling to find the
definitive answer to this and a Creator guru may know the answer.

I am trying to develop a COM server using the latest Qt/Qt Creator SDK and
the MinGW toolchain.  My first issue was that the code fails to build
because I didn't have a copy of the MS MIDL compiler.  I installed the
latest MS Windows SDK and now MIDL runs but complains because it can't find
cl.exe (the MS compiler).  So I downloaded Visual Studio Express and added
cl.exe to the PATH and now the MIDL step works but I get an 'Failed to
register application' error (I am building the ActiveQt comapp sample).

So ... can I build ActiveQt apps using MinGW or will I have to use the MS
toolchain (and the appropriate MSVC 2008 build of Qt)?  I develop on
different machines and would like to avoid MSVC if possible but I think I'm
out of luck...

I wondered if it is possible to have MIDL use gcc instead?  If this is
possible then I'm not sure how I'd edit my .pro file to change the MIDL
steps.
