Qwt with CMake

[d_stranz]

What do you see when you run this?

ldd -d -r libqwt.so

ldd -d -r libqwt.so

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Does it show dependencies on any of the Qt6 libraries?

How about opening the qwt.pro file in QtCreator and ensuring that you are building using a Qt6 kit?

I am afraid I am not really a linux developer, so this is getting to the limits of my knowledge and experience.

I see:

ldd: ./libqwt.so: No such file or directory

ldd: ./libqwt.so: No such file or directory

Q
I then created a link:

ln -s /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0/lib/libqwt.so.6.2.0 libqwt.so

ln -s /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0/lib/libqwt.so.6.2.0 libqwt.so

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but it made no difference. But output like

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0/lib/libqwt.so: undefined reference to `QtPrivate::QMetaTypeInterfaceWrapper<QVariant>::metaType@Qt_6'

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0/lib/libqwt.so: undefined reference to `QtPrivate::QMetaTypeInterfaceWrapper<QVariant>::metaType@Qt_6'

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

indicated that the lib is found. It also indicates that qwt v. 6.2.0 is used, as well as Qt6, so it appears that there isn't a version mismatch. Also, I can build the qwt examples with Qt Creator, so libqwt.so seems to be OK.

Well. sorry, but I am at the end of my ideas. I think qmake creates a Makefile, right? (I use Visual Studio on Windows for all my development, which does not use Makefiles). Maybe take a look at one of those for your qwt examples and see if there is something in the linking that is missing from your CMakelists file. Otherwise, I don't know what else to suggest.

Yes, cmake creates a makefile, but I don't find any clues there. There is a file called CMakeCache.txt, which includes:

Name  Value
QWT  /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0/lib/libqwt.so

Name  Value
QWT  /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0/lib/libqwt.so

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

which is the correct path. Anyway, don't spend more time on this problem. I will keep scratching my head though. One thing I haven't thought about before: does qmake use hard-coded paths?

No, I meant qmake. Check the Makefile from that to see if there are any ideas about what could be wrong with the cmake configuration.
