serial port issues

[jhowland]

thanks for the speedy replies. No luckyet though.

I tried following jpn's suggestion of removing the

extra "MessageEvent::" prefixes

and the error message changed--now instead of the identifier being '{ctor}', it's 'MessageEvent'

In lots of cases, I have been able to avoid reading serial ports in QT by using a network device server to send my app UDP packets instead of serial data. But I can't always do that

Do you have the appropriate include directive in place?

I dont think so--what would that be?

I meant including the header that declares MessageEvent. For example:

#include "messageevent.h"

#include "messageevent.h"

I wrote my own serial port code for Linux and WIN32 some time ago.
I released it under the GPL v2 license.

http://www.teuniz.net/RS-232

It has been tested with GCC on Linux and MinGW on Windows XP/2000.
Handshaking or flowcontrol is not supported.
It uses polling to receive characters from the serial port.
Interrupt/event-based is not supported.
Baudrate is fixed at 115K2 but can be easily modified to other baudrates.
Without modifications, this code uses 115K2 8N1 (8 databits, no parity, 1 stopbit).

I use it in some data-aquisition programs using Qt on Linux and Windows.

Regards.
