Simple problem: building QtSerialPort, no qlockfile.h
-
Hi all. I am on Ubuntu 13.10, using QT Creator 2.7.1 (Qt version 5.0.2) to do some development. I want to use serial ports, so I am installing QtSerialPort using the official instructions (http://qt-project.org/wiki/QtSerialPort#c64518704ce0c0d5501a45763f464276). I am up to the step where I have to build the source, and when I try to make, I get a failure because qlockfile.h can't be found:
@matt@mattdevel:~/serialport-build$ make

@What gives? Is my version of QT already outdated? How can I resolve?
Thank you

QSerialPort was updated before being released with Qt 5.1. So right now, you need to either use Qt 5.1 (you don't need to install QtSerialPort, though, it's already there), or Qt 4.x.

Qt Creator can work with multiple versions of Qt. I don't know how it works with the SDK, since I don't use it, but you can definitely download and install Qt libraries separately.

Thanks sierdzio,
I have uninstalled my old version of Qt Creator that I got from the Ubuntu Software Center and I have downloaded and installed the latest Qt Creator 2.8.1 (Qt 5.1.1) from the qt website. The code still does not compile, and the only error I get is:
@Unknown module(s) in QT: qserialport@
This only happens when appending qserialport to the project file:
@QT += core gui qserialport@
The kit that I am using displays the Qt version correctly as: Qt 5.1.1 GCC 32bit
Any ideas?
Thanks

This should work:
@
QT += core gui serialport
@No need for that "q" in front of serialport :)
