custom plugin load fails...

[raman_31181]

I have created a custom plugin for loading onto Qt designer.I had compiled the plugin using qtopia 4.3.3 library which generated a shared library.I copied the .so file onto
/usr/lib/qt4/plugins folder.
Then when I open Qt Designer tool I get this error of failed plugin

The plugin /usr/lib/qt4//plugins/designer/libmywidgetplugin.so uses incompatible Qt Library(4.3.3) release.

Is there any way to get around this?

I am using
Qt Designer 4.3.2 open source
Qtopia open source 4.3.3

Are you running Designer on an embedded device??? If this is not the case (very probable) then you'd better compile your plugin against a proper Qt desktop edition for the platform you're using...

Hi,
I am developing the GUI for an embedded device(ARM9) but I am using Qt Designer on the host(PC) side.
For compiling the plugin I have used gcc compiler and not arm-linux-gcc
My basic motive is to add some custom plugins on to the designer which can be dragged and dropped like standard plugins.This is what I have done:
1)I created a plugin in /tmp folder.I ran qmake and make.This compiled using gcc compiler and generated a .so file .
2)I copied this .so file in the /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer folder and restarted the Qt Desginer tool which showed the plugin load error.
Is there anything wrong with my approach?Should I compile it with arm-linux-gcc?

compiling with gcc is fine if you want to use your plugin with Qt Designer

the only thing I can think about are :

• debug/release mismatch
• missing symbol in your plugin (a method not implemented for instance) which cause outright loading failure
