Qt4 is being removed from Debian so I will concentrate on Qt5. There are

more differences in the examples than I thought for the different libraries.

Dependencies in Debian:

pyqt5-dev pyqt5-dev-tools python3-pyqt5

 

Then run:

$ QT_SELECT=qt5 python3 configure.py --qwt-incdir=/usr/include/qwt

$ make

$ cp Qwt.so qt5examples/; cd qt5examples

$ python3 bode.py

 

I have fixed the wrapper a bit and reduced the size of the patch with only

minimum loss of functionality.

I have been tinkering with setting the virtual functions = 0 in the sip code.

 

With new reduced patch.

All examples work except barplot.py (no bars are shown). I get the error messages:

NotImplementedError: QwtPlotMultiBarChart.dataSize() is abstract and must be overridden
NotImplementedError: QwtPlotMultiBarChart.dataRect() is abstract and must be overridden
NotImplementedError: QwtPlotMultiBarChart.setRectOfInterest() is abstract and must be overridden

If I reduce the patch more, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "test.py", line 8, in <module>
   import Qwt
ImportError: /home/gudjon/project_git/PyQt-Qwt/qt5examples/Qwt.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK22QwtAbstractSeriesStore8dataSizeEv

I need to change the QwtSeriesStoreQPointF to a template class but I haven't found out how to do that.

I commented out QwtSeriesStoreQPointF as a subclass in qwt_plot_curve.sip and I am pretty sure that is

a problem but I cannot add it without breaking the compilation.

 

I hope this answers your questions.

I am very thankful if you are willing to help me but I think the progress is already good enough to take the question

to more PyQt and Qwt related forums.

The conclusion is that my patch is unacceptable even if it fixes all my problems :)
