can bus example, unable to build, Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: serialbus

it's possible that CentOS does not provide the qtserialbus package. For example, Ubuntu 18.04 did not provide it either. It might therefore be easiest, to use the Qt online installer from http://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers to install the whole Qt framework.

Hi aha_1980
thank you for your answer. I think qtserialbus exists

Hi and welcome to devnet,

One thing to check, are you sure you are using the Qt 5 qmake ?
You might also have Qt 4 installed.

osfe

Hi,
thank you for your answer. definitely I use Qt5 :)

Hi @osfe,

You seem to miss qt5-qtserialbus-devel.* which is needed for development.

qt5-qtserialbus-devel

You might be right... I feel like I'll need to install the qt framework with online installer...

I can confirm @aha_1980 is correct, QtSerialBus and QtSerialPort are two different modules. But since you have both available with your distribution, you can go on with them unless you need a specific version of Qt.

osfe

@SGaist Actually, if you have a closer look, I don't have qt5-qtserialbus-devel...

I don't have qt5-qtserialbus-devel...

Please read how to upgrate the right repos for your Fedora distro on the Fedora forums then. Because the qtserialbus-devel package exists on Fedora: https://fedora.pkgs.org/32/fedora-updates-x86_64/qt5-qtserialbus-devel-5.14.2-1.fc32.x86_64.rpm.html

Oops, sorry, it is CentOS v8.. Then change the Linux distro, because it is not the qtserialbus issue.

SGaist

Old eyes...

I would recommend complaining to your distribution.

From centos forum :

Re: qt5-qtserialbus-devel not in repos

It appears to be one of the missing -devel packages that Red Hat don't want to release. There are mailing list discussions, bug reports etc about this. I'd suggest reading those, especially the mailing list, as there is a pointer to a ticket somewhere (that I don't remember) gathering requests for the missing packages and reasons why they are needed.

@osfe what if you build the Qt SerialBus module yourself?
