INSTALL

Installing QSerialPort
----------------------

QSerialPort requires Qt 4.6 or greater.

For Mac/Unix/Linux/Embedded Linux:

  ./configure
  make
  make install
  /sbin/ldconfig, if necessary

For Windows:

  configure
  nmake (or make)
  installwin

For Wince:
  qmake -r qserialport.pro -spec <platform-name>
  nmake	  	
   	
  i.e "qmake -r qserialport.pro -spec wince50standard-x86-msvc2005" for wince 5.0 standard sdk 


Notes
-----
  - On unix, use --prefix=$PWD to build in-place

  - if 'configure' doesn't work on Mac OSX (it doesn't work if QT is installed as SDK), use the following instead:
	qmake -r qserialport.pro -spec macx-g++
	make
	make install

    Optionally add lib_bundle config value to build it as framework: 
	qmake -r qserialport.pro -spec macx-g++ CONFIG+=lib_bundle   		
  
  - To build QSerialPort as static library try CONFIG+=static with qmake or add it into conf.pri file.

  - Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files are included into the package. Current solution is prepared for WIN32 builds. 
    If you want to build QSerialPort for WINCE using Visual Studio then do the following:
      o replace qserialportnative_win32.cpp with qserialportnative_wince.cpp
      o add wincommevtbreaker.cpp and wincommevtbreaker.h files into the project
