Try doing "make clean" for that.

hmmm... i tried qmake clean and that just produced a syntax and a mingw32-make clean gave me the same error. Any other thoughts?

Your error looks like it's from the ld (linker). Does C:\OpenSSL-Win32_full\lib actually exist?

That what I thought. I don't have anything at that location. I'll see if i can find a Open SSL install and see what happens

Hmm... open ssl appears to be a part of gnuwin project. I'm not sure if that would conflict with mingw32. Any guidance on what to install to link to this?

I tried installing OpenSSL so it would match paths with the directory mingw32 make command that error but it still gives the linker error.

Late to the party it seems, and the original package has long expired. Anyone have a copy available?

EDIT: Obtained via DevArrah. Thanks!

Okay, here are some additional steps necessary for making this work on a Win7 64bit platform (DevArrah - this appears to be your issue as well). It appears to have nothing to do with openssl:

* Follow chris' steps on page 1 until step 6.
* In src.pro, add 'webkit' to the end of the line QT += network opengl phonon
* Copy mudlet_package\QtSDK\4.7.3\lib\QtWebKit4.dll to mudlet_package\mudlet_libs
* Continue chris' instructions at step 6

Why this is necessary for myself and not InTheWorks or chris, I'm not sure. The use of QWidget and QUrl seems to require this. Regardless, success! Note: I'm using chris' github code.

EDIT: I forgot to mention huge thanks to InTheWorks and chris for getting this going, and DevArrah for shooting me the package.
