I went back to the designer section of the directory, and edited the designer.pro file the same way. Everything now appears to work

Yep that seems to do the trick. I was able to run the examples from vs2008 after fiddling with libs a bit so qwt does get built fine, just make sure to link debug to qwtd5.lib and release to qwt5.lib

cheers.
