Compile thread

I would like this thread to be a repository for how to compile BTC/LTC

While there are some notes in the BTC repo, they are scant, eg nothing on, the QT 5.0.2 won't compile because it's not merged with 4.XX

which mngw?

how to set up QT, what to use,
the make command / qmake (and why it does not always work)

I want to collect all the links to all the needed:

[1] library's in both complied and complied form, and the version needed
[2] Compliers that work, version and type.
[3] Make files and flags
[4] give a File/tree structure to make sure all files are includes are in the right relative path place.

For example

let the Bitcoin repo be under

.../bitcoin
the libraries need are boost verxx, Berkly DB ver XX, OpenSHH ver XX
links to complied and uncompied versions are
.../Bitcoin/CompiledLIB/
.../Bitcoin/UnCompiledLIB/

and then supply a Make file with all for this done except for one path and that is the Path to ..../Bitcoin

Anyone feel free to chip it or make criticism
