Qextserialport.pro doesn’t build

wimschuiteman

Hello everybody

I'a a student from a high school in the Netherlands.
It is the first time I work with Qt creator.
Now I want make a serial communicate with a microcontroller.
I have found the qexserialport library.
But if I build qexserialport.pro than I get a popup screen with the message "Could not find the executable, please specify one.".
now my question is where can i find this executable?

Best regards,
Wim Schuiteman

sorry for my bad english.

Instead of QextSerialPort try use "QSerialDevice 2.0":https://gitorious.org/qserialdevice/qserialdevice/trees/2.0.
Reason see "this":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/11634/ .

Thank you for your reply.
I work a few weeks with Qt.
So I do not know how to use QSerialDevice 2.0.
Should I build serialport.pro, or maybe something else.

Best regards,

If you want to get a shared library, then use the serialport.pro (and if it does not work - then src.pro).

But I recommend you to connect directly the library classes to your project.
How to do it - look at /examples or /tests.

And if you're using OS Windows and QtSDK, then you have an build error qwineventnotifier_p.h.

The solution below:
[quote]
It private file is located in the source code Qt4:
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4/src/corelib/kernel/qwineventnotifier_p.h

But since is a private class, then it does not include in the Qt SDK.

Therefore, in two ways:

Or build Qt4 from source and use.
Or take this header file from the Qt4 source and copy it to the Qt SDK, example to:
C/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.7.4/msvc2008/include/QtCore/private/qwineventnotifier_p.h

Where instead 4.7.4. may be your current version (eg 4.8.0),
and instead msvc2008 may be mingw.
