Qwt installation on Windows 7

[qt_developer]

Hi,

I've downloaded the qwt-4.2.0-setup-qt230nc.exe (http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/qwt/qwt/4.2.0/qwt-4.2.0-setup-qt230nc.exe) executable file and I've installed it. Then I've downloaded the latest version of MinGW (http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20120426/mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe) and finally I've installed Qt 5.0.1 with Qt Creator 2.6.2 for Windows (MinGW) (http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5/5.0.1/qt-windows-opensource-5.0.1-mingw47_32-x86-offline.exe).

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:


mingw32-make -f Makefile.Release

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.

Added after 22 minutes:

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:

What's wrong?

Kind regards.

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

[qt_developer]

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

I have added the line

CONFIG += qwt

in my .pro file but I get the error:
error: qwt_plot.h: No such file or directory

I've edited qwtconfig.pri



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


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


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:



mingw32-make
mingw32-make install
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:


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)
add to PATH environment variable: ;C:\Qt\4.8.4\bin
Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express
Download and extract latest QWT to C:\temp
In extracted folder: edit qwtconfig.pri: remove "#" in front of "QWT_CONFIG * * += QwtExamples"; save and close
Open "Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)" with admin rights
navigate to C:\temp\qwt-6.0.2
qmake qwt.pro
nmake
nmake install
a) qmake -set QMAKEFEATURES C:\Qwt-6.0.2\features
b) check with: qmake -query QMAKEFEATURES
close command prompt
add new environment variable QT_PLUGIN_PATH and for the variable value: C:\Qwt-6.0.2\plugins
add to PATH environment variable: ;C:\Qwt-6.0.2\lib
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"
Open QtCreator
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)
Do not forget to add CONFIG +=qwt into your project PRO file


Use the MSVC2010 build config!

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.
