Right now I have some libraries that link easily to Visual Studio projects but I can't figure out how to link them with Qt. My idea is to write a VS project that wraps the functionality I need from the libraries, then compile that to a library which can be linked to Qt. From my understanding, VS and Qt use compilers that create incompatibile libraries. My questions are:
The specific library I'm using is Nitro-Nitf. For my Qt project I'm using Qt Creator and for Visual Studio I'm using VS 2008.

In Microsoft Visual Studio, select Extensions > Manage Extensions > Online, and search for Qt Visual Studio Tools to install or update Qt VS Tools.
pro projects into Visual Studio. To do that, select the Qt VS Tools > Open Qt Project File (. pro) to let the extension create a VS solution and project from your existing Qt . pro file.
alternatively you can right-click your project in Qt Creator and select "Add Library...", choose "External library" and browse for your library file: For libraries compiled with MSCV compiler in windows, you look for . lib or . dll.
Select File > New Project > Library > C++ Library.
Yes, the Windows binaries provided by Qt are built using MinGW. If you build Qt from source using Visual Studio, then your libraries will be compatible.
Although I haven't tried it, Qt Creator 1.2 introduces support for MS compilers, so you should be able to continue to develop your Qt projects in Creator.
