On QWT installing on Windows XP with open source QT SDK. Some usefull howto's.
1. Make sure you have installed >Qt 4 open source edition on you computer in <qt path> Download qwt archive with source codes
2. Unpack archive to <path of unpacked qwt >
3. Open qwt.pro in Qt Creator
4. edit configuration qwtconfig.pri file, make it next:
################################################## ####################

VER_MIN = 2
VER_PAT = 1
VERSION = $${VER_MAJ}.$${VER_MIN}.$${VER_PAT}
unix {

}
win32 {
INSTALLBASE = C:\Qwt-5.2.1
}
target.path = $$INSTALLBASE/lib
headers.path = $$INSTALLBASE/include
doc.path = $$INSTALLBASE/doc

else {

# On Windows you can't mix release and debug libraries.

5. build qwt project opened in QtCreator in release mode. Check that you have next libraries files in
directory:
<path of unpacked qwt>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\lib\
files:
libqwt5.a,libqwt5d.a,qwt5.dll,qwt5d.dll l
with d at end of file name for debug and without d for release
directory:
<qwt path>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\designer\plugins\designer\
files:
qwt_designer_plugin5.dll
6. add next environment variables
PATH:<path of unpacked qwt>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\lib;<qt path>\2010.04\mingw\bin;<qt path>\2010.04\mingw\lib;<qt path>\2010.04\bin;<qt path>\2010.04\qt\bin;<qt path>\2010.04\qt\lib
QWTDIR
<path of unpacked qwt>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\lib
7. copy next files to next directories:
to <qt path>\2010.04\bin\ copy qwt5.dll,qwt5d.dll,qwt_designer_plugin.dll
to <qt_path>\bin\designer\ copy qwt_designer_plugin5.dll
to <qt_path>\lib\qtcreator\plugins\Nokia\ copy qwt5.dll,qwt5d.dll,qwt_designer_plugin.dll
to <qt path>\2010.04\qt\bin\ copy qwt5.dll,qwt5d.dll,qwt_designer_plugin.dll libqwt5.a,libqwt5d.a
to <qt path>\qt\lib\ copy libqwt5.a,libqwt5d.a ,qwt_designer_plugin.dll
to <qt path>\qt\plugins\designer\ copy ibqwt5.a,libqwt5d.a ,qwt_designer_plugin.dll wt5.dll,qwt5d.dll
run install.exe in <qt path>\2010.04\qt\
8. reopen QtDesigner make shure you see additional widgets in left widgets panel
9. When you'll create new project with use of QWT library you must add in pro file next
rows:
for debug mode:
INCLUDEPATH += <qwt path>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\src
LIBS += <qwt path>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\lib\libqwtd5.a
or
for release mode:
INCLUDEPATH += <qwt path>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\src
LIBS += <qwt path>\qwt-5.2.1\qwt-5.2.1\lib\libqwt5.a
10. You can build and use applications based on QWT widgets
Next time I'll write also how to install qtextserialport classes and use them with QWT in QT
