1. Download Qt 4.2.3 OpenSource edition (the MinGW version) for Windows from:

http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/downloads

2.  Unzip the file and install following on screen instructions.

3.  Make sure you can run the QtDemos.  Once you have confirmed Qt works,
you are ready to install Osqoop.

4.  Make sure you have added path to C:\MinGW\bin and the C:\Qt\4.2.3\bin directories to your path.

6.  For some insane reason, MingGW's make file has been renamed to mingw32-make.exe.  Rename it back to make.exe

7.  Unzip osqoop and unzip XYMode.  Copy the XYMode to the processing subdirectory in osqoop

8.  Next modify processing/Plugins.pro to include XYMode.  That is, add XYMode at the end of the SUBDIRS

9.  Run the Configure script in the osqoop directory.  You can just double click the script in Windows File Manager.

10. Open a command prompt and cd into your osqoop directory

11.  Type make

12.  You can now run osqoop by going to target\osqoop

13.  If you want a stand-alone Windows binary of osqoop all you need to do is to copy the following dll files into target\osqoop:
C:\MinGW\bin\mingwm10.dll
C:\Qt\4.2.3\bin\QtCore4.dll
C:\Qt\4.2.3\bin\QtGui4.dll
