Qwt is the library that provides plotting widgets for SerialPlot. You have 3 different options for Qwt.
-
Leave it to serialplot build scripts. Qwt will be downloaded over SVN and built for you.
-
If your linux distribution has
libqwt-qt5-devorqwt-qt5-develpackage, install it and setBUILD_QWTcmake option tofalse. -
Download Qwt 6 here and build it yourself per these instructions and install. Make sure you use Qt5 (not Qt4) to build. And set
BUILD_QWTcmake option tofalse.
You can use Mercurial to download SerialPlot source code. Or you can download it from here: https://bitbucket.org/hyOzd/serialplot/downloads
hg clone https://[email protected]/hyOzd/serialplot
cd serialplot
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
You can also build with QtCreator IDE using serialplot.pro file.
