 Have you followed the instructions on that page and you got a mingw
installation besides the actual QT4 installation ?
  I doubt the QT4 bundle from Trolltech containes mingw/gcc or any
compiler whatsoever. In fact, looking at the download page I see:

 - quote -
 File format and availability

Qt/Windows Open Source Edition is available as a self-extracting
installer. The archive contains the complete source code of the Qt
libraries with full reference documentation. The package provided will
also download and install the MinGW compiler, if needed.
 - end quote -

 so it's clearly nothing distributed by Trolltech.
