qwt installation

[fantom]

Hello all,

I tried to install the qwt by following the instructions from this link:
http://johnhforrest.com/2010/09/inst...wt-on-windows/

Everythink went ok and i get no error BUT i can not find any qwt tools in the Qt designer or anywhere else.

Do you have any idea?

Copy qwt_designer_plugin.dll to <qtdir>\plugins\designer\

Thank you for your response.

Still not working.

[unit]

and qwt.dll to <qtdir>\bin\

than run qt designer and menu->help->about plugins and check qwt plugin

And follow the instructions of the INSTALL file ( instead of those from some web page ). The sequence is:

qmake
make
make install

Then you have to check, that all paths ( libray + plugin ) are properly set and of course there is no debug/release or mingw/MSVC mismatch between the designer and the qwt libraries/plugin.

About the mismatch problems: my worst nightmare was to discover that binaries of QT Creator are MS VC compiled... but I'm using mingw package to build my applications and libraries: so, if I want to use designer plugins provided by libraries, I must recompile the whole QT with mingw.. (I did it in the past, but was a too long process).
As far as you know, is there an alternative solution than to recompile the whole QT framework?
bye!

Sh*t, is it a joke? So I can't use it as a widget without that?
And now with the new 4.7.3 version, all the paths are redesigned.

I have compiled qwt_designer_plugin.dll for Qt Designer, but it complains that it is 'debug' version, not release. I have set the project for release building in Qt Creator. What can I do?

Hi! I'm running QT 4.7 with Creator 2.0.1 (Mingw) on Windows 7. I had no problems with the make, make install etc..., but I'm finding the path/plugin documentation very confusing (first time in a complex IDE, so these concepts are a bit new to me).

Would you mind elaborating on the process after the make install? My qwt extraction path is C:\lib\qwt60in case you need it.
