Building bitcoin-qt on windows

[grue]

Can't get it to work 


what i did:

• downloaded and installed http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp
• extracted https://download.visucore.com/bitcoin/qtgui_deps_1.zip to mingw
• opened .pro file in qt creator. tried to build, was missing some boost files
• downloaded http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.48.0/boost_1_48_0.7z/download and extracted to mingw's include directory, NOT replacing any files

it cant find lib ole32
could be several reasons (like not there at all, different file name, wrong version)
