Answer 1

You should use the .a (if you are using MinGW) that comes with your DLL, and add a line such as your .pro file:

LIBS += "PathToLib/libcryptopp.a"

Please refer to the Qt documentation, it is quite complete: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qmake-variable-reference.html#libs

You can also dynamically load DLLs using QLibrary
