Hi,

@thippu

You need to build and install qwt lib before you can use it. https://qwt.sourceforge.io/qwtinstall.html

@koahnig I have bro, using previously installed qwt and build was successful.

@thippu and how did you install it? and to where?

thippu

@aha_1980 I did install QWT with the help
2) For all QWT library includes or header file includes, I did include("path\qwt.prf") in a .pro file.

@thippu did you check that the place where your libqwt-qt5.dll (I'm guessing the name for Windows...) is installed actually matches any of the location(s) provided by include file "path\qwt.prf"?

thippu

@Pablo-J.-Rogina You are right, I checked it and I have the filenames as libqwt.a and libqwtd.a

thippu

@Pablo-J.-Rogina Thank you, I figured it out and corrected the place and it started the build and run.
O/P
