      I have several custom widgets that I build under Linux and QT 4.8.5 and they work great.
      I have installed Qt 4.8.5 on Windows 7 along with the proper MinGW (4.4.0).
      I can now rebuild those custom widgets on WIndows and they are installed in the proper Qt plugins/designer directory.
      They are not showing up in the Designer.
      I have done a ton of Googling but cannot find a solution.
      Any help would be appreciated.
      I am guessing I have some step that is needed for Windows that I am not aware of.

      Thanks!

        Hi and welcome to devnet,

        Qt Creator is built with MSVC2010 so your plugins are not compatible with it. You have two options here:

        • build Qt Creator with MinGW
        • build your plugins with MSVC2010

          I am using QT Designer not Creator.

          But I found out the answer. One must build the release version, not the debug version!

            Glad you found out and thanks for sharing !

            Since it's now working, can you please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)

            On a side note it's Qt, QT stands for Apple QuickTime
