Anyone have a .cmake file for qwt 6.0.1 that works under windows?

[SarahMiller]

Hello.

I successfully installed qwt 6.0.1 and ran some examples. Now, I wanted to configure my cmake based project to use qwt under windows (win xp, using MSVC 2008). Unfortunably, qwt doesn't provide a .cmake configuration file (so I can't just find_package(qwt)).
I searched on google for a .cmake file for qwt, but all such files I could find were either outdated or only for Linux/Unix.

So, how do I use qwt with cmake?

Sincerely yours,

Sarah

I just added

include_directories(C:/Qwt-6.0.1/include)
link_directories(C:/Qwt-6.0.1/lib)

and added 'qwtd' to target_link_libraries in my CMakeLists.txt.
It works, but this way I'll have to replace qwtd with qwt when I change from debug to release.

You also have to add the QWT_DLL define !

I recommend to read qwt.prf ( and its includes ) to find out what needs to be set for building a Qwt application.

As I mentioned, I added 'qwtd' to target_link_libraries, which seems to be enough.

Been there, done that, seems like I added all I need.
My project compiles fine and works like it should.

No - QWT_DLL is necessary , otherwise you compile your code with the wrong import/export declarations.
You would notice the problem when trying to start your application with some mysterious error.

Hi,

how to define QWT_DLL in a CMakeLists.txt file, please ?
Qwt compile fine by mean of qmake .pro file, as well as the examples, but I failed to build any program or library (deriving some qwt classes) using cmake on Windows with msvc ...

Thank you
