No not really. If your application compiles with these headers, everything is 
fine.

When you want to install your software on a Windows machine, you have to place 
libexpat-1.dll,  pdcom-1.dll and mingwm10.dll in the same directory (I presume 
you could also use c:\windows, but I am definately NOT a winwows expert, but 
that is how my collegue got to run it)

In fact we used our QtPdWidgets for a wind..ws application and also had to 
copy
QtCore4.dll  QtGui4.dll  QtNetwork4.dll  QtPdWidgets1.dll  QtSvg4.dll  
QtXml4.dll
into that directory. Maybe this info helps...
