Building qwt with qt5 alpha

[alizadeh91]

hi all..
Is it possible to build qwt with qt5?? I've done this before but there is some error with QPrinter.h . In the qt5 QPrinter.h have some changes in relative to earlier versions.

Thanks..

I once built Qwt from SVN trunk with Qt5 alpha successfully. For the Qwt 6.0 and 5.2 branches I have not decided what to do - not until at least a Qt 5 beta with a stable API is available.

But I wouldn't expect too much from using Qwt and Qt 5.0 - until widgets and quick stuff can coexist ( planned maybe for Qt 5.1 ) I don't see many good reasons for upgrading an application using Qwt to Qt 5.

Unfortunately it will need some time to reorganize the Qwt plot framework, so that it can be used optionally without widgets. But this time please don't blame me for all the related API incompatibilities ...

Thanks Uwe...
Actually because of qml's opengl rendering(in qt5) i want to use qt5. In the other hand i need plotting(so i choose qwt).

What version of qwt did you build with qt5 from SVN???

Thanks for your reply.

Impossible due to the design of Qt 5.0 - beside the QML stuff and the plot widget are located in different top level widgets. Coexistence is maybe possible with Qt 5.1.

The same limitation is for all widgets ( Qt widgets too ! ) and as there are no desktop components available yet for Qt Quick 2.0 better check your options before you start.
