error on build for qwt 6.1.6


  • Version: Qt 5.15.2
    OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2
    QWT 6.1.6

    I have been attempting install of QWT with version 6.1.6 (get same problem with 6.1.3)

    Issued qmake with no error on directory.
    On make I get this in the display at beginning of build;

    $ make
    cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/local/Qt/6.0.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake -o Makefile /home/david/Downloads/qwt-6.1.6/src/src.pro ) && make -f Makefile

    354 | qSort( angles );
    | ^~~~~
    | qSqrt
    make[1]: *** [Makefile:4637: obj/qwt_clipper.o] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/david/Downloads/qwt-6.1.6/src'
    make: *** [Makefile:50: sub-src-make_first-ordered] Error 2

    I have searched forums for same error and have come up with nothing.
    I followed the installation instructions like so;

    /usr/local/Qt/6.0.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake qwt.pro

    then

    make

    As I mentioned I get the identical error with both qwt versions 6.1.6 and 6.1.3.
    Any pointers or suggestions would be welcome.

  • This particular error may be because qSort is apparently now obsolete. It has been replaced with std::sort
    That said I am still running into errors - I'm now running into this error;

    $ make
    cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/local/Qt/6.0.1/gcc_64/bin/qmake -o Makefile /home/david/Downloads/qwt-6.1.3/src/src.pro ) && make -f Makefile

    david@david-X510UAR:~/Downloads/qwt-6.1.3$

    As before - any suggestions would be helpful - on my own here, trial-and-erroring myself to death.

    Hi,

    From this feature request, you should use the 6.2 branch.

  • Ok - thanks for that. So I am now compiling and installing without errors. Next step is to get the qwt widgets to appear in Qt.
    Here is where I stand;
    Compiled and installed Qt into /usr/local/Qt version 5.15.2
    Compiled qwt version (6.2.0) - using /usr/local/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/bin/qmake (checked using -v is 5.15.2)
    Installed qwt into /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0-svn

    This is a startup script I am using to get Qt up and running from the shell (so I can get some info)

    QMAKEFEATURES=/usr/local/qwt-6.2.0-svn/features
    QT_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/local/qwt-6.2.0-svn/plugins:/usr/local/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/plugins"
    QTDIR=/home/david/Qt
    export QTDIR
    export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
    export QMAKEFEATURES
    export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
    /usr/local/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator

    I put the plugin at;
    /usr/local/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/plugins/designer/libqwt_designer_plugin.so

    Here's something I found on old forums so I also did the following;

    I inserted
    /usr/local/qwt-6.2.0-svn/lib
    into
    /etc/ld.so.conf.d/qwt.conf
    and updated with 'sudo ldconfig'

    When I execute my shell file, I get quite a bit output - sending that through "grep qwt" I get;

    QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/usr/local/qwt-6.2.0-svn/plugins/platforms" ...
    QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/usr/local/qwt-6.2.0-svn/plugins/platformthemes" ...

    QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader() checking directory path "/usr/local/qwt-6.2.0-svn/plugins/bearer" ...

    I feel like I'm close - but still not there -

    Qt Creator is not designer. Start the Qt 5.15.2 designer and you'll likely see the Qwt widgets there.

  • OK - so, still closer, but a bug - I got this error;

    Cannot load library /usr/local/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/plugins/designer/libqwt_designer_plugin.so: (/usr/local/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/plugins/designer/libqwt_designer_plugin.so: undefined symbol: _ZN17QwtDesignerPlugin18PolarPlotInterface12createWidgetEP7QWidget)

    What do you get if you run ldd on the plugin ?

    You may have to check the plugin code to see if there's something missing.

    By the way, weren't you building with Qt 6 ?

    Originally I was - but things take a lot of twists and turns - I was getting errors building with the qmake from Qt6 - but that was with an older version of qwt - I tried several versions of qwt - all had the same compile problem, so I switched to a different version of Qt and have had more progress (so it seems).

    Where exactly is the plugin code ? Are you talking about, for instance my shell script file - or maybe that I have plugin installed in /usr/local/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/plugins/designer - not sure if that should be there.

    Oh, wait - you mean qwt. I can check that the configuration files I have been through and have not seen a reason to modify. Any suggestions as to what to look at?

    I would check the PolarPlot related stuff since it's from there that problem seems to be.

  • I recompiled qwt 6.2 with no errors. Tried a few different configuration. I removed the plugin file from within Qt.
    Then I retried qwt-6.1.5 again and BINGO - the widgets are up and working. Thank you for your expert guidance on this.
