Qwt examples are working but,Not able to run selfdesigned qwt applications!

[Krish]

Hello! Friends,
I am working in WinXp with Qt4.3.4. Also i have installed qwt library and can use qwt plugin in Qt. All the qwt examples are compiled and working properly.

But today i tried to design a simple GUI widget form containing 2 pushbuttons & QwtPlot widget, but getting following error's.

In file included from main.cpp:3:
sampleplot.h:5:22: qwt_plot.h: No such file or directory
sampleplot.h:7:28: qwt_plot_curve.h: No such file or directory
sampleplot.h:8:27: qwt_scale_map.h: No such file or directory

mingw32-make: *** [release] Error 2

From this it seems that it is not able to find the qwt files, but all qwt examples are working that means it can find them!!!!

Can anyone please help me out in this.-->I will be obliged.

Thanks in advance.

You have to tell the compiler where to look header files and libs for. Did you notice that every .pro file of those Qwt examples includes a .pri file which further adds stuff like INCLUDEPATH and LIBS.

Hello Jpn,
Thanks for helping me out, but i knew that all those examples include qwtconfig.pri file from where they get to know all paths. But in my case as i was generating the .pro file with qmake it wasn't including it. So is there any other option to do?

Anyway now i wrote the .pro file and included them as shown: -

//
//.pro file for the sampleplot from where we get to include qwtconfig.pri file eventually to include all the required qwt headers.
//
 
include( ../../../Qt/qwt-5.0.2/examples/examples.pri )
 
# Input
HEADERS += sampleplot.h
FORMS += sampleplot.ui
SOURCES += main.cpp sampleplot.cpp

//
//.pro file for the sampleplot from where we get to include qwtconfig.pri file eventually to include all the required qwt headers.
//
 
include( ../../../Qt/qwt-5.0.2/examples/examples.pri )

# Input
HEADERS += sampleplot.h
FORMS += sampleplot.ui
SOURCES += main.cpp sampleplot.cpp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But even then its not working. Thanks again for helping.

No, you can't include Qwt's examples.pri file unless you put your application in the same directory where Qwt examples are. Just add similar lines to your own .pro but with suitable path to Qwt.

Hey Thanks Jpn all those errors are gone but facing with new problem, i mean i got the .exe but its not working. Showing "encountered problem while launching the application".

In other words... it crashes? You might want to use a debugger to find out what's the problem.

Thank You.
