[texworks] Compiling with mingw32

[Paul A Norman]

Thanks Stefan,

That sorted that out.

I went abck to the beginning and rebuilt the Lua5.1 but I still get

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
cannot find -lQtXml
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make[1]: *** [release/TWLuaPlugin.dll] Error 1
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/texworks/plugins-src/TWLuaPlugin'
mingw32-make: *** [release] Error 2

My KDEDIRS env variable is set up and I've got kde directories
including c:\KDE\include;  in the path and c:\KDE\include\QtXml exists
with all of its files.

May be I have the wrong version of KDE?  I have run
C:\KDE\bin\designer.exe and it reports as QT 4.6
