Windows programming in Qt (serial communication)

[bnilsson]

I found the problem.

After changing

unixEFINES = _TTY_POSIX_
win32EFINES = _TTY_WIN_ QWT_DLL QT_DLL

to

unixEFINES = _TTY_POSIX_
win32EFINES = _TTY_WIN_

it worked.

Having looked through the latest version of QextSerialPort-1.2, it seems a very important feature, the QextSerialEnumerator, is not implemented for POSIX systems.

Is this not done because of any thecnical difficulties?

Or just lack of interest or time?

I would like to ecourage anybody with the required skill to do this, since without it this class may be a bit difficult to use.

I'm gathering time and motivation to take the ext serial port code and continue its development as it seems the original maintainer is not interested in it. Enumerating ports in POSIX systems is harder as there is no single way of determining what is and what is not a serial port. Even if you do it on one system (like Linux) it can be completely different on another (like Solaris).

thanks for doing that i think the repository on google projects is getting updated for other platforms like MAC OS X, the serial port lib on sourceforge compiles successfully, but I am facing problems in compiling the QESPTA example from the QT Creator, gives the following compiler output:
