I have managed to build a static Qt kit so that I could build my application as a standalone. Please refer to the link for more detail
However when I wanted to use QtSerialPort in my project by adding the following to my project .pro file
- QT += core gui serialport
The QtCreator screams an error saying
- Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: serialport
I tried various suggestion to build the static QtSerialPort project to unavail. Just for information, the QtSerialPort .pro file is residing in C:\Qt\5.5_static\qtserialport. However the content in the .pro file is just
lessThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 5) {
message("Cannot build current QtSerialPort sources with Qt version $${QT_VERSION}.")
error("Use at least Qt 5.0.0 or try to download QtSerialPort for Qt4.")
}
requires(!winrt)
load(qt_parts)which I don't think that it can be build. Does anyone has any idea on how to get QtSerialPort works with a static built Qt kit?

I managed to resolve the issue I encountered and here some information of my setup:
- QtCreator installed to C:\Qt\5.5
- Qt opensource installed to C:\Qt\5.5_static
- MinGW installed to C:\MinGW
and following will be the steps:
- Execute command prompt
- In command prompt, go to directory C:\Qt\5.5_static\qtserialport
- In command prompt, run the command qmake qtserialport.pro
- In command prompt, run the command mingw32-make
- Run QtCreator, followed by qmake and rebuild existing project that requires QtSerialPort
Please ensure you have add the necessary to the PATH in order to use the qmake and mingw32-make in command prompt.
The following setup and steps works for me and hope they will help you in your projects.
