Solved Custom plugin fails with 'Plugin Verification Data Mismatch'

[Votato]

Hi,
I want to use this Qt Plugin, but when I drop it into /usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/, Qt Creator from 'About QT Designer Plugins' moans at me it has a 'Plugin Verification Data Mismatch'. I am using Arch Linux, and these are the steps I took.

1. cd color_widgets_designer_plugin
2. qmake ..
3. make
4. make install
5. Drop the resulting libColorWidgets-qt5.so.1.0.0 into /usr/lib/qt/plugins/designer/

Thanks, VOT.

Solved: Plugin didn't use qmake, it used cmake.

Hi,

That generally means that you are trying to use a plugin built with a version of Qt (e.g. 5.5) with an application built with a different version (e.g. 5.4)

So check what version of Qt was used to build Qt Creator and use it to build your plugin.
