# INSTALL

    Unix
    ====

    For building Qwt for Qt 2.x you need tmake. On SuSE it is hidden
    in a package called qt-freebies. It can be downloaded from
    http://www.trolltech.com/developer/download/tmake.html.

    You have to set TMAKEPATH to point
    to your development environment and run tmake:

    export TMAKEPATH=/usr/lib/tmake/linux-g++ # path depends on your system
    tmake qwt.pro -o Makefile
    make

    If you like to build the examples:

    cd examples
    tmake examples.pro -o Makefile
    make

    Builds for Qt 3.x need qmake, that is official part of Qt 3.x.

    qmake qwt.pro
    make

    The designer plugin is available for Qt > 3.x only. You can build and
    install it with:

    cd designer
    qmake qwtplugin.pro
    make
    make install

    If you like to build the examples:

    cd examples
    qmake examples.pro
    make

    If you like to run the examples, don't forget to install the qwt libraries
    or set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the lib directory of your local build.

    qwt doesn't distribute binary unix packages. qwt.spec is a template
    spec file for building rpm packages. Read the comments at the beginning
    of qwt.pro how to use it.

    Win32
    -----

    Please read the qmake/tmake documentation how to convert
    your *.pro files into your development environment.

    F.e Qt >= 3.0, MSVC with nmake:
    qmake qwt.pro
    nmake
    cd examples
    qmake examples.pro
    nmake

    Qt-NonCommercial users beware: tmake does not understand the subdirs template
    and the .dsp files for Visual Studio are for MSVC-5.0 instead of MSVC-6.0
    The msvc-tmake.bat batch file generates makefiles for Qwt and all examples.
    Simply type: msvc-tmake

    There is a msvc-qmake.bat batch file for Visual Studio users with Qt >= 3.0 to
    generate makefiles or project files (.dsp for MSVC-6.0 or vcproj for MSVC.NET)
    for Qwt, all examples and the designer plugin.
    To generate makefiles, type: msvc-qmake
    To generate project files, type: msvc-qmake vc

    Qtopia
    ------

    Change "CONFIG = qt" to "CONFIG = qtopia" and continue like for
    any other Qtopia build.

    Good luck !
