The problem may not be the `-L` setting, it’s more likely that the 
`coin-qt.pro` file has 
the boost lib names hard-coded (maybe as an example) and isn’t picking up the 
`BOOST_*` 
variables correctly. It should be looking for (e.g.) `-lboost_thread_win32-mt`.


In the #1492 issue, I thought the goal was to link an external build of boost 
but it seems
you are trying to use the MXE libs in their standard locations - `qmake` should 
pick these
up by default.

Can you post the `coin-qt.pro` file (or a link to the project repo)?

Cheers,

Tony
