qwt

Hi, I have gentoo linux, and I emerged qwt 5.0.2-r1 without any problem.
But it doesn't work for me.
For this short program:

Code:

---

#include <QApplication>
#include <qwt_plot.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QwtPlot plot; // ! here i tryed the qwt
    return app.exec();
}

---

...I get this reply:

I followed this tutorial
...that means, i did the following steps:
$ echo "/usr/lib" >> /etc/ld.so/conf

...and than without any IDE, i did next:
# qmake -project

...the .pro file i edited like this:

Code:

---

TEMPLATE = app
TARGET =
DEPENDPATH += .
# i'm not sure which is correct of following
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include /usr/local/include $(QWT)/include
LIBS += -lqwt
 
# Input
SOURCES += hello.cpp

---

...than
# qmake -o makefile hello.pro
...After the make command I get the result which is quoted upper.

...I checked my direcotoryes:
in usr/lib i have the following files
libqwt.so
libqwt.so.5
libqwt.so.5.0
libqwt.so.5.0.2

in usr/local/include i have the qwt5 directory with header files.

My question is: What did i wrong? Yes surelly i'm newbie, that's the reason why i posted it here. Also sorry for my english..

Do you have the header files installed? Where is qwt_plot.h located in your system?

By the way, please give a more descriptive title to the thread next time...

the qwt_plot.h i have in /usr/include/qwt5
...sorry for the title :o

Add this to your .pro file:

Code:

---

INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/qwt5
LIBS += -lqwt

---

and rerun qmake. You might have to replace -lqwt with -lqwt5 depending on what is the library called on your system.

thank you very much!!! It works! :))
...i never managed .pro files, always left it to IDE

once again: thank you!

In that case tell your IDE to look for includes in /usr/include/qwt5 and link with the qwt library.
