[Kst] Re: I need some help

[nicolas.brisset at free.fr]

Dear Khuong Huynh, 

if you're not experienced with programming you may want to download ready-made packages. You can find some information on the website: http://kst-plot.kde.org/download/binary_packages.php. 
For Windows you should find all that you need. It seems you are on Windows, since you mention dlls in your mail. In that case I'd definitely recommend downloading a ready-made package for a start. For Linux distributions, it may be more difficult to find the latest packages, but if you tell us what distribution you are using we may provide some help. 

Using QtCreator is of course also an option, and provides the added benefit that you can get the latest version any time or apply patches without having to wait for the next release. From the information you provide, I see 2 possible issues: 
1) it seems you have not properly instructed QtCreator that the executable you're interested in is kst, not d2asc. Changing that should be easy, but as it depends on the version of QtCreator you are using I can't provide more specific help at that point. Maybe you have even figured it out already, as you seem to have tried running kst as well. 
2) the libraries are built into a non-standard path (in your case E:\st-build-desktop\build\lib ), which is not in the paths where the system looks for dlls. In my case, I have added that directory to the environment variables in QtCreator (in the "Executaion Environment" section, variable named LD_LIBRARY_PATH) 

I hope that helps, 

Best regards, 

Nicolas
