How I've setted environment in WinXP to work with Qwt in Qt Cr/Des open source lic

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_MAJ = 5
VER_MIN = 2
VER_PAT = 1
VERSION = $${VER_MAJ}.$${VER_MIN}.$${VER_PAT}

unix {
INSTALLBASE = /usr/local/qwt-5.2.1
}

win32 {
INSTALLBASE = C:\Qwt-5.2.1
}

target.path = $$INSTALLBASE/lib
headers.path = $$INSTALLBASE/include
doc.path = $$INSTALLBASE/doc

isEmpty(VVERSION) {

CONFIG += release # release/debug
}
else {
# Qt 4
win32 {
# On Windows you can't mix release and debug libraries.
# The designer is built in release mode. If you like to use it
# you need a release version. For your own application development you
# might need a debug version.

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
