Building issue with Visual Studio 2017 #3

Open Suthiro opened 4 years ago

Suthiro commented 4 years ago

I tried to build the library with MSVC x64 compiler (Visual Studio 2017) under Windows 7 x64. The QT is built in the same environment. The simple way

SET PATH=%PathToQt%\bin;%PATH%
qmake
nmake

does not work, nmake exits with code 0x2 when building a designer plugin. It fails looking for qwt5-qt5.lib file. At this step there are qwt5-qt55.dll and qwt5-qt5.prl in \lib. There is nothing more. I tried to manually edit qwt.pro to prevent building of plugin, nmake exits successfully, no lib files appear. nmake install fails copying \lib\pkgconfig\qwt5-qt5.pc since there is no pkgconfig directory (or anything except two files listed above) in lib. Is this behaviour correct? I expected to get qwt5-qt5.dll (without trailing 5) and qwt5-qt5.lib for linker. Could you please clarify how one is supposed to correclty build the library under Windows using MSVC compiler? Thank you very much!

Modify lines 91 and 130 in file 'qwtconfig.pri' to get a static lib without designer plugins.

It is not exactly what I'd like to achieve, but looks like it is the best variant, thank you! Also please note that with CONFIG+=QwtDll the qwt5-qt55.dll has size of 97KB (compared to 2985KB of qwt5-qt5.lib) and exports nothing (checked it with dumpbin). nmake install fails with the same error even using the edited qwtconfig.pri.
