Plugin Issue

Hello, guys. So, I’m not that new to Qt, yet I hadn’t read about its plugins until yesterday.
I am trying to use the Plug And Paint example, but I found that the “Basic Tools” static plugin is only compiled to a .a file, and I’m a Windows 7 user, so that’s no use.
Plug And Paint complains that “pnp_basictoolsd” is not found. I have deleted and recompiled to make sure, and I get three files on the output folder:

libpnp_basictoolsd.a
libpnp_extrafiltersd.a
pnp_extrafiltersd.dll

Anyone has a hint?

Thanks in advance,
Vee.
