Hm, strange. But instead of
    INCLUDEPATH += c:/MinGW/lib
I'd suggest
    LIBS += -Lc:/MinGW/lib
(your line tells it where to look for header files, mine where to look
for libraries)

If you have the gdi and ole lib we must be able to get it to be linked ;).

OK, you wrote you solved the dll problem. As for the rest, that's funny
indeed. If what I wrote above doesn't help, I recommend running
    mingw32-make clean
    mingw32-make
to clear any old temporary files.

That's the intended behavior (well, of course it would be nicer to have
that feature, but that's not easily possible). The problem is that while
the pdf is (by definition) nicely paginated, the source code is just one
long text, without page breaks or anything. Fortunately, Qt takes care
of the pagination itself during printing, but doesn't predict it before,
so at the time we show the dialog to the user we don't actually know how
many pages there will be.

Interesting. I expected that complex page ranges (like 1-2,5-9) are not
supported because there is no function to handle this on the c++ side.
The fact that you have to input 2-2 to print page 2 is a bug, though.
I'll see what I can find when I have the time.

Thanks
