Protocol Implementation. ?

[dheeraj]

Hi wysota thank you have helped me so much in trying to get the qextserialport installed. But i still get the errors. I did exactly what you said i took a fresh copy of qextserialport-1.2win-alpha package unzipped it in C:\ drive . Opened Qt command promt cd to the qextserialport-1.2win-alpha folder and did qmake and nmake. The errors are shown in Qt cmd promt. Pls check the error.zip i have attached the snap shot of the error in the cmd promt.

Thank You so much.

Use the stable release of QExtSerialPort, not the alpha one.

Hi wysota i did every thing possible . I tried all the version's . I unzipped them to the C:\ and did qmake and nmake. And tried to run the example program but still i get the same error when i try to build the qespta example.
[/CODE]
1>.\MessageWindow.cpp(93) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier '{ctor}'
1>.\MessageWindow.cpp(121) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier '{ctor}'
[/CODE]

Hey i have to some how make this work my whole project is dependent on serial communication. . Pls help me out.

Thank You wysota

What is the contents of those lines mentioned above?

Hi wysota
The first error takes me to this part of the code.

void MessageWindow::customEvent(QEvent* event)
{
	if (static_cast<MessageWindow::EventType>(event->type()) == MessageWindow::MessageEvent)
 
msgTextEdit.append(dynamic_cast<MessageEvent::MessageEvent* >(event)->msg); // '{ctor}' Error takes me to this line 
}

void MessageWindow::customEvent(QEvent* event)
{
	if (static_cast<MessageWindow::EventType>(event->type()) == MessageWindow::MessageEvent)
		
msgTextEdit.append(dynamic_cast<MessageEvent::MessageEvent* >(event)->msg); // '{ctor}' Error takes me to this line 
}

[mazurekwrc]

so take it in comments as I have written avbove

[dheeraj]

hey mazurekwrc i tried what you told but i get a error saying

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'qextserialport.lib'

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'qextserialport.lib'

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So i added the path of the folder where qextserialport is "C:\qextserialport-1.1\qextserialport"
there is no qextserialport.lib file though.Now when i build the program again i get a new error

>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\qextserialport-1.1\qextserialport.obj'

>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\qextserialport-1.1\qextserialport.obj'

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

even get a warning

1>.\MessageWindow.cpp(90) : warning C4100: 'event' : unreferenced formal parameter

1>.\MessageWindow.cpp(90) : warning C4100: 'event' : unreferenced formal parameter

Hey i don't find any qextserialport.lib file any where in the qextserialport folder.

[mazurekwrc]

add
CONFIG += staticlib
in qexterialport.pro file, then run qmake, nmake, go to example and run do the same

[dheeraj]

Hey mazurekwrc Thank you. finally after couple of weeks of breaking head got the output for the example. The GUI was displayed once the example was complied. I need to check if it works fine to send a message from one computer to another.
And i have a doubt what does the line

" CONFIG += staticlib"

" CONFIG += staticlib"

in qexterialport.pro file actually do all the linker errors were removed. ?? Hey and do i need to qmake and nmake all the qexterialport programs in order to work. I am using Qt 4.3.3 integrated with VS2005.net. cause i don't do qmake and nmake for all the other programs which i have been doing all these dazz.

[mazurekwrc]

here you got about config += staticlib
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qmake-c...ding-a-library

you asked also about qmake, it's used to create a platform-specific makefile from the project file, so if we changed .pro file we need to use it, and at the end we use nmake to build program

The problem seems to be the dynamic_cast. Maybe your compiler has support for it turned off or you compiled Qt without RTTI support.

[dheeraj]

Hi wysota i think the problem is solved finally. I am able to run the qextserialport examples but with a few warnings. I even tested one example program on RS232 cable connected to two computer and it is working. mazurekwrc asked me to add " CONFIG += staticlib" to .pro file. I did it and finally worked. But i had to comment these two lines

msgTextEdit.append(dynamic_cast<MessageEvent::MessageEvent* >(event)->msg);
 
QCoreApplication::postEvent(this, new MessageEvent::MessageEvent(qmsg));

msgTextEdit.append(dynamic_cast<MessageEvent::MessageEvent* >(event)->msg);

QCoreApplication::postEvent(this, new MessageEvent::MessageEvent(qmsg));

only then it works . Hey do you have any extra serial communication example. So that i can learn how to send a Frame in a format like i asked in the first post.

Thank You So much wysota

[wysota]

QExtSerialPort gives you access to the serial communication through the QIODevice API, so I suggest you start by taking a look at it.

[dheeraj]

Hi wysota i was able to run all the example programs. I started a new QtApplication Project i wanted to send a string of numbers through serial port on click of a OK button on the GUI form. But i get two linker errors i tried so much but cud't clear the error's pls help me with tthis problem. These are the error's

select_spacecraft.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall QextSerialPort::QextSerialPort(class QString const &,enum QextSerialBase::QueryMode)" (??0QextSerialPort@@QAE@ABVQString@@W4QueryMode@QextSerialBase@@@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall select_spacecraft::select_spacecraft(class QWidget *)" (??0select_spacecraft@@QAE@PAVQWidget@@@Z)

I have attached the .h and .cpp files also.

[dheeraj]

Hi friends can you pls tell me what is wrong in my program. I am trying to remove those linker errors but not able to clear them.

[wysota]

Did you link with the library?

[dheeraj]

Ya i did link every thing but i have this error. !! All the example qextserialport programs
work perfectly but the one i created has these link error's.


Thank You

[wysota]

Could you show your project file? Does QExtSerialPort contain the constructor mentioned in the error? Also make sure you got the class name right. Is it QextSerialPort or QExtSerialPort?

[mazurekwrc]

hi, I've got version 1.1 of qextserialport from http://qextserialport.sourceforge.net/ which is differ from this on web, the difference is in example in file meesagewindow.cpp, I've got comments in line 92 and 93
// if (static_cast<MessageWindow::EventType>(event->type()) == MessageWindow::MessageEvent)
// msgTextEdit.append(dynamic_cast<MessageEvent::Mess ageEvent* >(event)->msg);
and in line 121
// QCoreApplication:ostEvent(this, new MessageEvent::MessageEvent(qmsg));
with this comments it's work fine but when I delete them I get the same errors as you
