   1. Use Unix style end line.
   2. Do not install in "Program files" or in a path which contains spaces. We recommend to install in C:\git.
3. If you want an access to the master repository : generate a RSA 2048 bit with Puttygen (come with tortoisegit) and send it to a project manager.
4. Install Qt SDK (Qt creator is included) : http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.02.1.exe .
5. Add C:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin;C:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin to your path environment variable.

   1. Download the source zip here (2.4) : http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list and unzip in C:\protobuf
   2. Edit <Qt dir>\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.0\libstdc++.la and replace library_names='libstdc++.dll.a' by library_names='libstdc++.a'
