Need help installing Qwt

[Spitfire]

1. You can build Qwt anywhere you want, just you need later add a path to Qwt include files and libraries in your project.

2. "a shell where Qt4 is initialized" means a shell where qt environment variables are set. Qt command prompt (from start->all programs->qt sdk by nokia...) is such shell.

3. You can use QtCreator to buil Qwt.
The install step copies the binaries to their destination.

By default QtCreator uses shadow directory to build the project and then copies all *.a and *.dll files to <path to qwt source>/libs (defined by DESTDIR in src.pro)

To build and run Qwt examples from qwt.pro you need to uncomment line 108 in qwtconfig.pri (or add in qwt.pro QWT_CONFIG += QwtExamples).
Then all you need to do is to select active configuration to run (any example will do) and run it.
