+ MinGW for you, but rather offers to use a version of MinGW that
+ you already have installed on your machine. You just tell the
+ installer which directory MinGW is installed in. If you don't
+ already have MinGW 4.4 installed, you can download a .zip archive
+ from our \l{ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/misc/MinGW-gcc440_1.zip} {ftp
