Installing Qwt

[soroush]

Hi,

I just compiled and installed Qwt 6.0 successfully :-) I would like to see widgets in the QtCreator of SDK 1.1.1. there is a file named libqwt_designer_plugin.so in /usr/local/qwt-6.0.0/plugins/designer/ directory. how should I tell QtCreator to load it?

.so is like your .dll. So its a binary file. You will have to load the library in the project and use it.

I want Qt Creator to load widgets and show them in left side (beside other widgets). I installed qwt 5 of Ubuntu repositories and in Qt Creator 2.1.0 (installed with repository, using Qt 4.7.2) they are added. but there is nothing in Qt Creator 2.2.0 installed with SDK 1.1.1 (Qt 4.7.3). I want to know what is happened when qwt 5 was installed. and do that for qwt 5 and Qt Creator 2.2.0

Note: I used the qmake installed with SDK instead of /usr/bin/qmake to compile qwt

Sorry, I misunderstood your question initially.

Check "this":http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/20379-Once-I-ve-built-Qwt-how-do-I-add-it-to-a-form-in-Designer thread this might help.

No hope! I tried to copy libraries to all directories that I guess Qt Creator looks up for finding plugins... this looks like a brute-force solution ! I need to know What is a Qt Creator plugin and how exactly creator loads plugins?

Have you already checked this : "Qwt Install Note":http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtinstall.html ?

bq. For using the designer plugin you have to configure the Qt designer/creator
where to look for plugins. This can be done by setting the QT_PLUGIN_PATH or
using a qt.conf file ( see http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/deployment-plugins.html ).
Beside the plugin the Qwt library itsself also needs to be known to the Designer/Creator
( see LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH ... above ).

Thank you.

I can't managed to use qt.conf. will ask in another post ;-)
