hi to all user
at last i can find how can install and use "qwt" with "Qt creator" without any recompile creator !
it is very simple but need to remind one point
for using qwt you don't need to see it in qt creator widget list(left panel) BECAUSE:
1- you can create your form in qt "Qt Designer" .
2. add form to your project.
3. customize project pro file.
4.Compile and enjoy.

first download qwt-6.0.0-rc4
from sourcefoge, if it is not same as above version not important.
Do this step by step
1.)copy and unzip download file in C:\qwt-6.0.0-rc4
2.)open “C:\qwt-6.0.0-rc4\examples.pro”
change “include( ../qwtconfig.pri ) “ =>
” include(qwtconfig.pri ) “
3.)Open “C:\qwt-6.0.0-rc4\ textengines\textengines.pro”
change “include( ../qwtconfig.pri ) “ =>
” include(qwtconfig.pri ) “
4.)Open “C:\qwt-6.0.0-rc4\ qwt.pro” with “Qt Creator” Compile it in DEBUG mode
5.)if you see only some worning it is usually so don’t care;
6.) After compile complete
7.)goto “C:\ qwt-build-desktop \plugins\designer\designer”
8.)Copy “libqwt_designer_plugin.a” and “qwt_designer_plugin.dll” paste to
“[Qt install path]\qt\plugins\designer”
9.)goto “C:\ qwt-build-desktop\lib”
10)copy “qwt.dll” to “[Qt install path]\qt\bin”
11)copy “C:\qwt-build-desktop\lib\*” to “C:\qwt-6.0.0-rc4 \lib\*”
Now you can use QWT Widget in your form at “Qt Designer”;
Now important place begin;
1.)create new project in qt and in wizard uncheck “Generate form”
2.)create your form in Qt Designer and save it in your project directory.
3.)Add Your designed form to your project.
4.)add this lines to your project pro file
INCLUDEPATH += C:/qwt-6.0.0-rc4/src
win32:LIBS += C:/qwt-6.0.0-rc4/lib/libqwtd.a
win32:QMAKE_POST_LINK = copy /Y C:\qwt-6.0.0-rc4\lib\qwtd.dll $(DESTDIR)
CONFIG +=qwt

If you run in debug mode red word stay
If you run in Release mode then “libqwtd=libqwt” and “qwtd=qwt”

Hi
I have tried the steps you described here but I get an error as can be seen in the following compiler output. Can you help?

Hi, I did as you said but on step 5) I get an error: "Failed to start application: Starting executable failed: J:/Name/qwt-build-desktop/qwtbuild.exe: No such file or directory."

Please help

Hi, I did as you said but on step ...

You will find much more useful threads in the archive than this one.

Any suggestions? :P

Thanks for the help mpsoft! Your tutorial worked great!

Just a note: I had to use Qt's Widget Promotion to use Qwt with Qt Designer (embedded in Qt Creator). It works with Qwt 6.0.1 and Qt 4.7.4 (the vanilla SDK download).

Thanks again!
Chris

I get the same error:

error: cannot find -lQtDesignerd

Using:
QT4.7.4
QTCreator 2.3.0
Qwt 6.0.1

I followed the procedure above, but it does not work?!
Anybody any idea?
Help is greatly appreciated!

[qtgn]

I found a solution today:

- Installed the new bundle: 1.1.4 (instead of 1.1.3).
- Did the installation from a 'qwt shell' ( Start -> QT SDK -> Desktop -> QT 4.7....

Now it works!
Not sure which of the 2 did the job.
