QSerialPort Library for Qt creator 4.8 on Debian 9
-
Hi @aha_1980
Thanks for the reply. Now i can build the library but it is still not visible to Qt creator. When i add CONFIG += serialport to .pro file it is giving the error as follows
Project MESSAGE: Warning: unknown QT: serialport
So still what is going wrong??
Also can you please tell me how to install Qt 5.8 on 32 bit debian 9?? Because i do not want change my windows based GUI every time. I want directly compile project. I do not want to work in lnux environment as i am not familiar with it.Regards,

DigvijayHi @Digvijay,
I guess you need to call
sudo make installas last step.But as others said, why don't you install the Qt version supplied by your distribution?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this.

@jsulm said in QSerialPort Library for Qt creator 4.8 on Debian 9:As @SGaist pointed out Debian stable already provides Qt 5.7 (including 32bit).
Yes i know that Qt 5.7 is available. But i do not know how to install it. Do i need to uninstall the Qt 4.8?? And how to install it on linux??
And one important thing is i have only one day of experience in linux. So i am sorry if i am asking silly questions.regards,

Then before starting to develop you should first get to know the distribution you are using. Start by looking up the Debian package manager:
apt. Depending on your desktop environment you might even have a GUI on top of it.No you don't need to uninstall anything, Qt 4 and 5 can co-exist without any problem.

What i mean is that, i have developed my application(UI) on windows. But for some reason i have to put the exe on linux. To do that i have to compile my application in linux or use cross compiler. Compiling application in linux is easier so i am trying to do that.

Yeah, thats what we do also. Where is your problem with that?
Regarding QtSerialPort, you have several possible solutions:
- use Qt5 as provided by your Linux distribution
- use the Qt5 online installer for 32 bit Linux (I think the last version is Qt 5.5.1)
- compile QtSerialPort for Qt4 yourself
- use a Linux distribution that has a newer Qt5
- compile Qt5 yourself
If you are not limited to 32 Bit Linux, you can install the newest Qt also via the 64 bit online installer.
