cannot find -lqwtd error

[mobucl]

Hi

After some searching and trial and error i managed to install QWT and get it running in QT creator (well i can see the widgets in the form window anyhow) I did it like this:

1. installed the qt SDK 2010.05 from the qt.nokia website
2. downloaded qwt-6.0.0-rc5.zip
3. extracted the zip to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\qwt-6.0.0-rc5
4. using the QT command prompt i navigate to this folder and use:
qmake.exe qwt.pro -spec win32-g++ -r CONFIG+=release
mingw32-make release
5. copy libqwt_designer_plugin.a and qwt_designer_plugin.dll
from: C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\qwt-6.0.0-rc5\designer\plugins\designer
to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\plugins\designer
6. copy libqwt.a and libqwtmathml.a
from C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\qwt-6.0.0-rc5\lib
to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\lib
7. copy qwtmathml.dll and qwt.dll
from C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\qwt-6.0.0-rc5\lib
to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\bin
8. Download qt-creator-2.0.1-src and put in C:
9. From the QT creator command prompt
qmake.exe C:\qt-creator-2.0.1-src\qtcreator.pro -spec win32-g++ -r CONFIG+=release
mingw32-make release

Ok so far so good but now when i load the sinusplot.pro project for example and try to run it all i get is

cannot find -lqwtd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Searching the forums i tried to add some library's to the .pro file and also set the environmental variable, see this thread:

http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/36066-Installing-Qwt-6.0.0-rc4-on-Windows?highlight=-lqwtd

But i still get the same problem.

Can someone please help!

Thanks

You have built a release version of Qwt only, but then you want to link against a debug version.

I have newest Qt Creator, QWT, Windows 7. I open with Qt Creator qwt.pro, change project location in .pri file. I get lib folder with .dll and .a and what should I do now

[StasiekPL]

Use this: http://johnhforrest.com/2010/09/installing-qwt-on-windows/
Use his qwtconfig.pri, only change destination
Use Qt Creator -> run qmake, rebuild qwt.pro
Use Qt Command from Start->All Programs menu, use qmake, mingw32-make

Copy libqwtd.a "from C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\qwt-6.0.0-rc5\lib to C:\Qt\2010.05\qt\lib"

all examples are working well but with a lot of errors during building project

Now, it works correctly with standard files - you only change directory folder.
I installed newest QtSDK, downloaded qwt 6.0.0, built qwt.pro (changed .pri directory) and it works :)
