QT-Development/Installation, using QT-Creator 2.3.1 and QWT 6.0.1
Installing the QT software development kit (SDK)
sudo apt-get install qt-sdk
Installing the newest version of QT-Creator
cd ~ wget http://get.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator/qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-2.3.1.bin chmod +x qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-2.3.1.bin sudo ./qt-creator-linux-x86-opensource-2.3.1.bin
Close QT-Creator
Install QWT 6.0.1
mkdir 00Software cd 00Software wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/qwt/qwt/6.0.1/qwt-6.0.1.zip unzip qwt-6.0.1.zip rm qwt-6.0.1.zip cd qwt-6.0.1 qmake make -j2 sudo make install
make the library globaly available
cd /usr/local/lib sudo ln -s /usr/local/qwt-6.0.1/lib/libqwt.so.6 libqwt.so.6 sudo ldconfig
There might be better ways, to do this.
Compile and test the examples
cd ~/00Software/qwt-6.0.1/examples qmake make -j2 cd bin ./sinusplot
If you get a nice sinus plot on your screen, you installed the examples successfully.
Install the designer plugin for QT-Creater 2.3
cd ~/00Software/qwt-6.0.1/designer/plugins/designer sudo cp libqwt_designer_plugin.so /opt/qtcreator-2.3.1/bin/designer/
Final steps
Create a directory for running the QT examples and your own code:
cd ~ mkdir 00QT-Software
Select the new version to be the default version
cd /usr/bin sudo mv qtcreator qtcreator-2.0 sudo ln -s /opt/qtcreator-2.3.1/bin/qtcreator qtcreator
Now you can run QT-Creator and try the examples.
