    @jsulm I have seen this, but It needs the Qt MinGw compiler and I can't find it in the start button windows server 2012 so I need the help from you guys to find out.

    You don't need the Start button for that (a compiler is a command line tool, and you do not need to call it directly).
    See here: http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html
    You just need to use qmake.exe from your MinGW Qt installation (c:\Qt\5.11.1\mingw53_32\bin\qmake.exe). And then mingw32-make from your MinGW set-up (usually c:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin\mingw32-make.exe).

      @jsulm Yeah, I did click on the qmake.exe, It executed some auto cmds and the mingw32-make.exe did flash and auto closed, I don't know what to do.

          @thippu Please don't click anything! You need to use the command line, not the mouse. So, download and extract the QWT source code (or check it out from Git). Create a directory (lets say build_dir) and go there:

          cd c:\build_dir
          c:\Qt\5.11.1\mingw53_32\bin\qmake.exe c:\qwt_src\qwt.pro
          c:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin\mingw32-make.exe
          c:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin\mingw32-make.exe install

              Hi,

              Write the commands one line after the other as @jsulm shows in his post.

                @SGaist , @jsulm could you clarify "c:\Qt\5.11.1\mingw53_32\bin\qmake.exe" and "c:\qwt_src\qwt.pro" are to be executed on same line ?

                  @thippu

                  c:\Qt\5.11.1\mingw53_32\bin\qmake.exe c:\qwt_src\qwt.pro
                  

                  here you're calling qmake.exe and give it c:\qwt_src\qwt.pro as parameter...

                      @thippu Press Win key on your keyboard and enter "MinGW" you will get a short-cut to a CMD window which prepares the environment to use MinGW. Execute all the commands in this CMD.

                        @jsulm Sorry to say this, Qt environment has been installed on the D: because of disk full in the C:,
                        I did press the Win and typed the MinGW but It is not getting popped.
                        what to do?

                          @thippu If it is on D then simply replace C with D in the path.
                          The CMD is located in d:\Qt\5.11.1\mingw53_32\bin\qtenv2.bat

                                      @thippu said in how to install the QWT library for Qt creator on windows server 12 (development server):

                                      next what has to be done?

                                      First, spend some time to learn how to use the Command Prompt. Example tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBBWVgE0ewk

                                      After you learn how to use the Command Prompt, read through @jsulm's instructions again; they should be clearer then.

                                          @thippu It shouldn't be installed on C drive if your Qt is installed on D.
                                          You executed

                                          d:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32\bin\mingw32-make.exe install
                                          

                                          ?
                                          But if it is now installed then you should be able to use it in your project.
