  • The plugin and the corresponding lib needs to be compatible with the Qt version used by the Qt creator.

    With "Help->About" you can see the version of the Qt creator. With "ldd /usr/local/qwt-6.1.0/lib/libqwt.so" you can see the one Qwt had been built for. If they don't match ( f.e when using Qt5 for Qwt and your application and Qt4 for the creator ) you have to build and install Qwt twice at different places ( edit qwtconfig.pri )

    Next you have to check that the Qwt designer plugin finds the corresponding Qwt lib. Whith a proper installation this should be no problem as the lib has been compiled having the directory of the installed lib in its rpath. Again ldd is your friend: "ldd /usr/local/qwt-6.1.0/plugins/designer/libqwt_designer_plugin.so".

    Then you have to tell the creator where to look for plugins by setting QT_PLUGIN_PATH. Note that this has to be done in the same environment, where you start the creator ( f.e in the same shell ).

    Of course don't forget to read http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html

    PS: note that the designer is part of Qt while the creator is an extra package. So when working with a Qt5/Qt4 combination you need different plugins for designer and creator.

  • With “Help->About” this

    my QT creator is 2.7.0 and based on QT 5.0.2

    with “ldd /home/username/qwt-6.1.0/lib/libqwt.so” this I didn't find any Qwt lib.
    and my QT is in /home/username/Qt5.0.2.

    but I install the qwt-6.1.0 as in this document
    "Qwt install": http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html

    means is qwt installed or not?

  • when doing "make install" qwt gets installed to a directory you have specified in qwtconfig.pri. When you did not change anything the path is /usr/local/qwt-6.1.0. If you want to install below /home/username/qwt-6.1.0 you change this path into qwtconfig.pri and rebuild Qwt from scratch.

    Read qwtconfig.pri the options are explained there.

    Uwe

    PS: better use one of the official Qwt support channels - mentioned on the Qwt project page - I don't read here often.

  • This is because you built qwt library with the qmake of version which is different from the one QTCreator uses.

    Usually, Ubuntu comes with built-in qt4 libraries in system, probably for GTK or something. Which is your default "qmake" in terminal.

    If you didn't compile QTCreator from source code like me, you're probably installed the binary version and was installed in, for example the default location:
    @/opt/QT5.1.0@

    which is a stand alone qt and has its own qmake and libraries that QTCreator based on. Check Tool->Options->Build&Run->QT Versions to see what qmake your QTCreator is using.

    In my case:

    @
    qmake -v
    QMake version 2.01a
    Using Qt version 4.8.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

    /opt/Qt5.1.0/5.1.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake -v
    QMake version 3.0
    Using Qt version 5.1.0 in /opt/Qt5.1.0//5.1.0/gcc_64/lib
    @

    So the way to solve this problem is recompile your qwt library with the same qmake QTCreator is using.

    And, DONOT use make clean, that somehow didn't clean qmake generated files. Please DELETE the qwt folder, extract a new one from qwt's source zip/tar.

    Then into it:
    @
    /opt/Qt5.1.0/5.1.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake qwt.pro
    make -j8
    sudo make install
    @

    It works for me and hope should be OK for you, too.
