How to compile "qextserialport-1.1.tar.gz" source in linux QT

[pupqt]

Hi there,,

am working in qt linux. I have to develop a serial comm program.
For this downloaded classes from net to facilitate this.

downloaded source is "qextserialport-1.1.tar.gz". I tried to compile this source to access classes from following steps:

1. Extract archive
2. copy qextserialport to src folder of QT setup in linux
3. give command " qmake qextserialport.pro" from terminal
4. gave make command

I want to know that before giving "qmake *.pro" command do i require to configure it??????

because errors are coming

Done, no errors.

The current download links for 'qextserialport' take you to the 'current' version which is 'qextserialport-1.2win-alpha.zip', but this version once unzipped does not compile as easily as 'qextserialport-1.1.tar.gz' sources.

qextserialport-1.2win-alpha resulted in the following error during make on my very simple linux system:

qextserialenumerator.cpp:9: fatal error: objbase.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

qextserialenumerator.cpp:9: fatal error: objbase.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

qextserialport-1.1 files compiled without any errors, such as ChrisW67 explained.

This was on Linux Mint 10.

qextserialport-1.2win-alpha.zip

That's a Windows version hence the "win" in the file name. objbase.h is a Windows header.

I had no problems compiling v1.2 on Debian after cloning a copy with Mercurial as shown on the website:

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/qextserialport/

hg clone https://code.google.com/p/qextserialport/
