[Qt-interest] Compiling Qt Creator for QWT

[Shaun van wyngaard]

Hello

I am wanting to compile QWT as a plugin into Qt Creator. After reading on
forums, it seems that Qt Creator (SDK) is compiled using mvsc, whereas I'm
trying to compile QWT using mingw.

Consequently I have downloaded the latest Qt Creator source files in order
to recompile it using mingw.

 

I followed following steps:

1.       Put source files into c:\src directory

2.       Made a directory c:\Qt\qtcreator-test

3.       Switched into this directory

4.       Run qmake c:\src\qtcreator.pro

5.       Because I also have Borland installed, just running "make" produced
an error about an in-line terminator, and it turned out that it was trying
to use Borland's make command, so I had to type c:\qt\4.7.0-beta2\bin\make
in order for it to use the correct "make"

6.       Compilation then started and 3 directories were created, bin, lib
and src, with a "makefile"

 

Switching to bin directory, I could then start Qt Creator fine.

When I opened up an existing project and switched to the form to view
plugins, it now gives me a whole bunch of failed plugins, whereas before it
only had qwt5.dll as an invalid plugin, message was that it is not a valid
Qt plugin, (and even with Qt Creator recompiled using mingw, still same
message).

Now I also have a whole lot of other failing plugins, all with similar
message : Expected build key "Windows mingw debug full-config", got "Windows
mingw release full-config".

 

What are the commands to change to get the expected build for these existing
plugins, but also how do I get qwt5.dll to become a valid plugin?

 

Thank you,

Shaun
