And you did a make install afterwards ?

Check where you have installed qwt and if the include path is added to
the compile command.

When having done the make install step you can make use of qwt.prf. How
is explained here:
https://qwt.sourceforge.io/qwtinstall.html#COMPILEANDLINKAPP

Without doing "make install" the qwt.prf file is useless. Including
$$PWD is not necessary for compiling/linking your application against
a proper Qwt installation.
