Windows 7 using MSVC or MinGW? for both of these instructions are provided in the link specified. Please try doing them, as mentioned.

It should be simple enough, if you already have your Qt environment setup ready. If not first have Qt setup then go for Qwt.

If you still have any problems, post them.

If don't understand what qmake is, you can post this in newbie forum. Also make yourself fameliar with Qt then move to Qwt.

qmake generates a Makefile based on the information in a project file (.pro file), qmake contains additional features to support development with Qt, automatically including build rules for moc and uic. The output makefile is used my make to build the project
