Well, I just managed it.

1) Just in case, to extend the environment space (I found this somewhere 
on the internet):

  - add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory
  SHELL=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /P /E:4096
  - add the following line to the SYSTEM.INI file (in c:\windows) under 
the heading [NonWindowsApp]
  CommandEnvSize=2424
  - reboot your computer

2) Add to C:\autoexec.bat:

set PATH=C:\Qt\4.2.1\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%

It seems to work fine now.
