    @Mucip said in How to use KDCharts from GitHub on Windows?:

    I think it's because of VS2019 or my path variables?!

    Did you run vcvarsall.bat x64 as mentioned in step 4? and I don't mean double-clicking on the file but using the command line to execute them

    @VRonin ,
    I run below command in MSVC2019 console:

    C:\Users\mucip\Documents\Qt\KDChart\build>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64

    It's building now. I think it will be ok. Thanks :)

    Regards,
    Mucip:)

      1. Install MSVC (aka Visual Studio)
      2. Install Qt5 for MSVC
      3. Install CMake (https://cmake.org/)
      4. open a command prompt and run both qtenv2.bat (from the Qt folder) and vcvarsall.bat x64 (from the Visual Studio Folder)
      5. Prepend the path to cmake.exe to your PATH env variable: SET PATH=C:\Program Files\CMake;%PATH%
      6. download the sources of kdchart
      7. navigate the command prompt to that folder
      8. Run the following commands:
      mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX=d -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/KDCharts -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG ../
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target install
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/KDCharts -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ../
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target install

      @VRonin ,
      I build library and add all necessary things in pro file:

      QT       += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

CONFIG += c++11

# The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
# any Qt feature that has been marked deprecated (the exact warnings
# depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the
# deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it.
DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

# You can also make your code fail to compile if it uses deprecated APIs.
# In order to do so, uncomment the following line.
# You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt.
#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp \
    mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS += \
    mainwindow.h

FORMS += \
    mainwindow.ui

# Default rules for deployment.
qnx: target.path = /tmp/$${TARGET}/bin
else: unix:!android: target.path = /opt/$${TARGET}/bin
!isEmpty(target.path): INSTALLS += target

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../KDCharts/lib/ -lkdchart2
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../KDCharts/lib/ -lkdchart2d
# else:unix:!macx: LIBS += -L$$PWD/../KDCharts/lib/ -lkdchart2





INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../KDCharts/include/KDChart
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../KDCharts/include/KDChart

      I can add the includes without erro in mainWindow.h file

      #include <KDChartChart>
#include <KDChartLineDiagram>

      Then in cpp file:

      //Add the widget to your layout like any other QWidget:
    QHBoxLayout* chartLayout = new QHBoxLayout(ui->chartFrame);
    KDChart::Chart *m_chart = new KDChart::Chart(this);
    chartLayout->addWidget( m_chart );

      But I can not run the code. It crush without message. Only this:

      22:40:54: Starting C:\Users\mucip\Documents\Qt\build-KDChartdYeniDeneme-Desktop_Qt_5_13_2_MSVC2017_64bit-Release\release\KDChartdYeniDeneme.exe ...
22:40:54: The program has unexpectedly finished.
22:40:54: The process was ended forcefully.

      I run debugger but nothings happend?! I use MSVC2019. May it be because of newest version of VS?

          @Mucip said in How to use KDCharts from GitHub on Windows?:

          -L$$PWD/../KDCharts/lib/

          Relative paths are often inadvisable, use the full absolute path -LC:/KDCharts/lib/

          I coppied DLL's from KDCharts/bin directory to build directory.

          This is bad. You should add the path to those DLLs to the "run environment" options of Qt Creator
