Well, that's good news :).

Well, that's a bit weird again. If you have the mingw version of the KDE
libraries installed, you should have libpoppler.dll.a a and
libpoppler-qt4.dll.a in C:/KDE/lib/.
Now the process is looking for .lib files. The only reason I can think
of is that you are not, in fact, using mingw in some part of the
workflow. So some more questions:
 * Do you have the libpoppler*.dll.a in C:/KDE/lib/?
 * Have you ever installed Qt (with or without KDE on Windows) other
than with the version of KDE on Windows that you are currently using?
 * What does "qmake --version" give?
 * Does it help to call qmake with the absolute path, e.g.
"C:\KDE\bin\qmake" intead of just "qmake"?
