Qwt installation on Windows 7

[qt_developer]

Hi,

I've downloaded the qwt-4.2.0-setup-qt230nc.exe executable file and I've installed it. Then I've downloaded the latest version of MinGW and finally I've installed Qt 5.0.1 with Qt Creator 2.6.2 for Windows (MinGW).

Later I've opened a command line, cmd, and I've put this commands:

cd "Program Files (x86)\Qwt"
path C:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\5.0.1\mingw47_32\bin
qmake qwt.pro
path C:\MinGW\bin
mingw32-make

and I get this output:

Need I any other dependency?, I've kept the steps described in the installation guide of qwt for Win32/MinGW (http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html) properly.

Can anyone help me?

Kind regards.

Now I've made a checkout from svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/qwt/code/branches/qwt-6.0

Then I've repeated the steps but I get another errors:

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

What's wrong?

Kind regards.

You need Qwt 6.1 ( = SVN trunk ) for Qt5.

Uwe

[qt_developer]

I have tried with this version (Qwt 6.1 ( = SVN trunk )) and now compiles

I have added the line

CONFIG += qwt

CONFIG += qwt

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in my .pro file but I get the error:

error: qwt_plot.h: No such file or directory

error: qwt_plot.h: No such file or directory

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I've edited qwtconfig.pri

win32 {
#    QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX    = C:/Qwt-$$QWT_VERSION-svn
    QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX    = C:/Qt/Qwt-6.1
}

win32 {
#    QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX    = C:/Qwt-$$QWT_VERSION-svn
    QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX    = C:/Qt/Qwt-6.1
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and I've copied the qwt.prf and qwtconfig.pri files in C:\Qt\Qt5.0.1\5.0.1\mingw47_32\mkspecs\features.

Need I do something more?

Regards.

EDIT:

I've edited again the qwtconfig.pri file:

#QWT_INSTALL_HEADERS   = $${QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include
QWT_INSTALL_HEADERS   = $${QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX}/src

#QWT_INSTALL_HEADERS   = $${QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include
QWT_INSTALL_HEADERS   = $${QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX}/src

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Now the program compiles.

[Uwe]

As soon as someone starts to copy files around I stop reading about installation problems.

What is so hard about following the instruction in INSTALL:

1. mingw32-make
2. mingw32-make install
3. configure QMAKEFEATURES

Then you can use CONFIG += qwt.

Hi Uwe,

The problem is that 99% of the time users' configuration is slightly incorrect and then the steps provided in the "INSTALL" don't work. In Windows the situation is even worse when users get confused or don't know the difference between Visual Studio and Mingw. I think slightly more detailed instructions in the "INSTALL" would reduce the number of installation related questions dramatically. I wrote the following instructions for students in my lab. Most seem to have success with them. They might help others:

1. install QT using: qt-win-opensource-4.8.4-vs2010.exe
   and: qt-creator-windows-opensource-2.6.1.exe
   (the latest versions should work too)
2. add to PATH environment variable: ;C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin
3. Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express
4. Download and extract latest QWT to C:\temp
5. In extracted folder: edit qwtconfig.pri: remove "#" in front of "QWT_CONFIG * * += QwtExamples"; save and close
6. Open "Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)" with admin rights
7. navigate to C:\temp\qwt-6.0.2
8. qmake qwt.pro
9. nmake
10. nmake install
11. a) qmake -set QMAKEFEATURES C:\Qwt-6.0.2\features
    b) check with: qmake -query QMAKEFEATURES
12. close command prompt
13. add new environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH and for the variable value: C:\Qwt-6.0.2\plugins
14. add to PATH environment variable: ;C:\Qwt-6.0.2\lib
15. Edit C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin\qtvars.bat:
    Add: "set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qwt-6.0.2\lib
    echo -- adding C:\Qwt-6.0.2\lib to PATH"
16. Open QtCreator
17. Tools - Options - Build & Run
    Qt Versions: Add "C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin\qmake.exe
    Kits: Select "Desktop", select "Qt version": Qt 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
18. Do not forget to add CONFIG +=qwt into your project PRO file

Use the MSVC2010 build config!

[Uwe]

Please read install.dox ( Doxygen input ) from svn trunk ( it will replace the old INSTALL document ) and send me patches for this unfinished text. Everything else will get lost.
