mingw32-make install fails with qwt.

[Soren]

hi
im still trying to use qwt.
im trying to follow "the UWE way".
but the step : "mingw32-make install" fails allways.
i use win7 64 bits, but i expect this shouldnt affect the compilation
of 32bit programs.
i have comentet out the silent mode and also make only release,
"config+=release"
still it fails.
i get this error:
g++ -Wl,-s -shared -mthreads -Wl,--out-implib,c:\qwt4\qwt-6.0.1\src\..\lib\libqw
t.a -o ..\lib\qwt.dll object_script.qwt.Release -L"c:\Qt\4.8.0\lib" -lQtSvg4 -l
QtGui4 -lQtCore4
Creating library file: c:\qwt4\qwt-6.0.1\src\..\lib\libqwt.a
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
mingw32-make[2]: *** [install_target] Error 1
mingw32-make[2]: Leaving directory `C:/qwt4/qwt-6.0.1/src'
mingw32-make[1]: *** [release-install] Error 2
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/qwt4/qwt-6.0.1/src'
mingw32-make: *** [sub-src-install_subtargets-ordered] Error 2

how can i know wich filename/directory/volume is incorrect?

finally i succeded
i changed following line i qwtconfig.pri
win32 { QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX = c:/Qwt-6.0.1 }

to:

win32 { QWT_INSTALL_PREFIX =/Qwt-6.0.1 }

but when this is changed qwt installs into qt folder on c drive

hopefully someone can use this info,
i have spent a long time searching for solutions,
trying uninstalling qtsdk, mingw etc.

Hi Soren,

I posted in your old thread about this (copied below) so I dont know if it is relavent anymore...but here it is

Hi Soren,

I cant comment on the install failure to much, but if you are trying to incorporate Qwt into the Qt SDK I think it is causing your problems. The SDK is compiled with visual studio and as such I think you are probably going down the path that I originally did which does not like to mix build types (I am a complete noob in this area). I had to compile the Qt creator and libraries with mingw and then also did the same with the Qwt e.g. everything is built with the same compiler. I dont know about the 64 bit problem but I don't think its that. Here is my link below for how I got it all to work. I hope it helps since it can be really frustrating, but awesome when its all go.

yes i now about the qt creator , but this has been a minor problem.
i should have given up long time ago , but im stubborn.
my pain is not over but im getting closer. thanks for your input.

finally i have it all running.
the main issues relate to windows environment variables.
i tried to find examples but unsuccesfull.
its important to set path to location of qwt.dll
allso if you have qtdir=c:\qt
you have to remove C: like i described earlier.
the problems i had was also path not set to mingw\bin.
