<![CDATA[perl needs to be available to build qt]]>https://github.com/qt/qtserialbus

I was running the serialbus example.

An error "perl needs to be available to build qt" appeared, so I downloaded perl and confirmed that the installation was completed with perl -v in cmd.

But the error doesn't go away.

Is there any way to solve it?

I think you should run cmake in the examples folder or in examples/serialbus

Please read this part again.

When I run cmake from root, I get the same error as the title.

I think you should run cmake in the examples folder or in examples/serialbus.
Correction:
I think you should run cmake in the example project folder, that is, e.g., qtserialbus/examples/serialbus/can or qtserialbus/examples/serialbus/modbus/client

In addition to @jsulm, did you clone the repository or downloaded the zip file ?

How exactly do you build qtserialbus? Did you start from scratch (delete build folder and build again) after installing Perl?
