[SOLVED] How to create qwt_designer_plugin.pdb

[8Observer8]

Hello

I cannot find the file: qwt_designer_plugin.pdb

I read that: http://geekanddo.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/qt-using-qwt-in-qt-designer-on-windows-10/

Thank you

I solved this problem.


Place a regular QWidget on your form in the desired location. Right click on it and hit Promote to...

The "hint" from the link is absolutely not the recommended way for installing the designer plugin. Don't copy files around manually ...
Instead read: http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html#USEPLUGIN

I don't understand that instruction. It is very difficult for beginner.

I will use Qwt with QWidget and "Promote to..."

And I will use QCustomPlot because it has the very good step-by-step instruction :p http://www.qcustomplot.com/index.php/tutorials/settingup

What is the same as not installing a plugin. There is nothing wrong doing so for a plot widget, as the plugin does not offer many benefits at all ( of course it is a different story when you are interested in the other widgets ).

I know that DLLs are a problem for beginners and the way how designer plugins have to be made and installed is everything else than comfortable - the same with the feature files for qmake.
But not offering any support for the Qt ecosystem - only to make the installation looking simpler ...
