Missing QSerialPort files.

[Malcolmc]

I have just loaded the latest (6.6.2) into Windows 10 but cannot compile my program which contains calls to the QSerialPort functions.

The error is failed to find the file -
Failed to find required Qt component "SerialPort".

Expected Config file at
"C:/Qt/6.6.2/mingw_64/lib/cmake/Qt6SerialPort/Qt6SerialPortConfig.cmake"
does NOT exist

There appears to be no support for the serial ports. Is this correct ?

[Malcolmc]

OK - solved it.
I added using the maintenance tool.
Pity the use of this tool is not noted in the QSerialPort documentation.

@Malcolmc said in Missing QSerialPort files.:

Pity the use of this tool is not noted in the QSerialPort documentation.

But the documentation mentions that the Qt serial port module is needed.

See:
CMake

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS SerialPort)

QMake

QT += serialport

If you don't have it, of course it doesn't work.
And whether you have installed it before, QSerialPort can't know.
However how you install a module is described here:
