QWT installation errors

Question

I started using Qt a few weeks ago and I am really enjoying it. I now need to include graphs in my application and, after some research, I found that Qwt was the best way of doing so (rather than having to do everything from scratch by myself). I've been at it for a couple of days, and I can't figure out how to install it. I am using windows7 32 bit. I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file:

from cmd ->

qmake qwt.pro
nmake

after nmake finishes I am left with errors

C:\Users\Peyo\Downloads\qwt-6.0.1>qmake qwt.pro

C:\Users\Peyo\Downloads\qwt-6.0.1>nmake

there are three errors:

   NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'echo' : return code '0xc0000135'
    Stop.
    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bi
    n\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
    Stop.
    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
    Stop.

And I can't figure out how to solved them. Please help! If I am missing any details, let me know and I'll add them. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try running this from Visual Studio command prompt, it set special vcvars stuff you don't have when running in windows command prompt

Answer 2

Better used mingw32-make instead of nmake.

It should work.

I hope your problem will be solved.
