4. In the NetBeans IDE, select Tools >
Options > C/C++ to open the C/C++ properties.
5. Click Add in the Tool Collections area.
6. Specify the Qt MinGW installation's
bin directory as the tool collection's Base Directory (for example, c:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin)
7. Set the Tool Collection Name to MinGW_Qt
and click OK, then click OK in the Options dialog box.
8. Go back to the C/C++ properties in Tools > Options window , specify the “QMake
Command” to c:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin\qmake.exe.

NOTE: Do NOT type space between two paths, e.g. no space between “c:\Qt\2010.02.1\bin;” and “c:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin;”.
If you fail to follow this rule, your NetBeans
will give you an error like “Cannot find xxx.dll”!
