No errors displayed when qmake or mingw32-make fails on windows

On windows, if qmake or mingw32-make fails, their error output is not displayed. Instead, a not very noticeable icon turns red, leaving the user no idea how to fix the problem.

Workaround: When the little icon turns red, the user runs qmake and and mingw32-make in the command line

To reproduce the problem attempt to build the analog clock example using the following analogclock.pro file

CONFIG += qt debug

HEADERS = analogclock.h
SOURCES = analogclock.cpp \
main.cpp

TARGET = analogclock

The makefile will fail because the qt creator install does not put ;C:\qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin on the path.

Additional workaround:

I put c:\qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin;C:\qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin on the path

Either the installer should put this on the path, or qt creator should work without it on the path.
