Compile - thirdparty\miniupnpc\lib\win/miniupnpc.lib: error adding symbols: File format not recognized**

[ambaca]

Just for practising purpose, I tried using Qt and compile this project.
I just hit in one same error and can't compile to end.
If someone have time to quick look and mention fix for this.
Again, I just practising, this is not really important for me.

• OS Windows 7
• Qt Creator 4.4.0 Based on Qt 5.9.1 (MSVC 2015, 32 bit)
  Built on Sep 4 2017 04:09:56
  From revision 60b8712a42

And Qt run in default settings after installation.

What I have googled, it's something to with OS Windows.
Error keeps telling this miniupnpc.lib file has different format, because it is Linux file ?

anyway, here last lines of compile output.

You need to have Qt use the Microsoft compile tools, not mingw. (Or, manually recompile the library with mingw)
