Creating data source reader plugin

[Manuel]

Hello,

I created a datasource plugin, and it works if I compile it together 
with the downloaded kst source.

Only when I copy the plugin dll into the 'plugins' folder of the 
downloaded windows binaries, I find the following message in the kst 
dubug dialog:

instance failed for libkst2_datasource_sma.dll (The plugin 'C:/Program 
Files 
(x86)/Kst-2.0.x-2018.05.02-13.10-win32/Kst-2.0.x-2018.05.02-13.10-win32/lib/kst2/plugins/libkst2_datasource_sma.dll' 
uses incompatible Qt library. (5.7.0) [release])

I read that the plugin will not work, if I use a newer Qt version than 
the one used to compile the application, so what Qt version were the 
windows binaries compiled with?

Regards, Manuel
