Now continuing on with the following the instructions for working with Dev-C++ 
I encounter the following which I'm not sure what to do. Can someone please 
offer a suggestion?

Using Dev-C++

For all Qt project use this procedure:

     * Open Dev-C++ and import the *.dsp file by the menu function 
'File/Import' (e.g. 'qt-3\examples\hello\hello.dsp')
     * Enable 'Use custom Makefile' in 'Project/Project Options/Makefile' and 
choose 'Makefile' in the folder of your project (e.g. 
'qt-3\examples\hello\Makefile')

(I understand the previous points just fine, but not the following:)

Compiling the Qt libraries
You must compile both *.dsp files in the 'qt-3\src' folder.

(I'm not sure how to take this. Should I drop down to a command line and run a 
command on the dsp files associated with hello from the qt-3\src folder? Or am 
I missing something else altogether? I guess I'm just not sure how to go about 
following that direction. As before and always, any and all help is greatly 
appreciated, and I'll do my part to try and document this as best as possible 
for those who might come only after me.

Thanks to all in advance,

Steven
