Qwt is a graph plotter library for Qt.

Either use the provided zip file, or install by checking it out from SVN:
svn co https://qwt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qwt/trunk/qwt

If you use the zip file, create a symlink to the qwt library called "qwt" so that the build system can find it.

Qwt must be built as a static library. To configure this, edit the file
qwtconfig.pri
before running qmake-qt4 and make. Comment out the line
# CONFIG += QwtDll
and qwt will be built as a static library.

Qwt must be built as a static library.
Nonsense, almost all users work with shared libraries.

The easiest way to install Qwt is on Linux, where you find binary packages that can be installed easily with the package manager of your distribution. On the Mac you find the idea of a distribution implemented in the Fink project: http://www.finkproject.org

In uncomfortable environments like Windows you have to build and compile the Qwt library from source code packages: follow the advices in the INSTALL file and ask if you have a problem with one of the steps. But don't do something different - even if you find a success story in some forum - until you don't know exactly what you are doing.
