QT_STATIC_CONST does not name a type

Question

I was using QT5.4.1 version with the QWT-6.1.2 library that I've installed but in compiling I receive the error "QT_STATIC_CONST does not name a type". After some researsh how to fix that, I found that I should install the QT version 5.5. I have that already achieved but the error appears although! I use Kubuntu by the way What should I do ?

The fix is not to install Qt 5.5 but to upgrade Qwt. Are you sure it's QWT-6.1.2 and not QWT-6.1.1 ? What is your Kubuntu version ? — Ilya, Feb 16 '16 at 09:10

QT_STATIC_CONST’ does not name a type. By defining QT_STATIC_CONST just before inserting Qwt file, compilation works. - In Qt5.4 , QT_STATIC_CONST was removed from qglobal.h - Qwt 6.1.1 uses this macro, but fixed it in Qwt 6.1.2

Here is the content that was removed from qglobal.h that created this issue. Adding this to your code prior to including the header file should resolve the issue.

/*
   Workaround for static const members on MSVC++.
*/

#if defined(Q_CC_MSVC)
#  define QT_STATIC_CONST static
#  define QT_STATIC_CONST_IMPL
#else
#  define QT_STATIC_CONST static const
#  define QT_STATIC_CONST_IMPL const
#endif
