Arch Linux

Could you please upload this package with the correct name qt5-serialport-git. And request this package to be merged into the new one?
Also please update this package to use the new vcs https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines

sed: can't read qtserialport-git/pkg/qtserialport-git/usr/lib/libQt5SerialPort.prl: No such file or directory.
The last 'sed' command needs to be removed or changed.
I created a pkgbuild that creates the Qt5 serialport module https://gist.github.com/ant32/5776331 . That way you can start using it as you will once Qt 5.1 is out.

strange enough on my x86_64 KDE machine /usr/lib/qt4/bin is at first place in $PATH even after updated and qt5 installed. This cause this package fail during package function because qtserialport is built with qmake for qt4. Replacing qmake with /usr/bin/qmake will fix this.

Hi, I just created package for Qt4 : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qtserialport-qt4-git/

I've updated this package, now it uses Qt5. Qt4 version can also co-exist, so maybe it's a good idea to make a package like qt4-qtserialport-git.

I actually need a Qt5 version. My pkgbuild works fine for Qt5. Maybe should we make another package (sort of "qtserialport-qt4-git") as Qt5 is now released?

I've updated the package, but currently it is only for Qt4. If anyone needs version for Qt5, please post here, I can try to make a build for both versions.

I updated the PKGBUILD, here is my humble contribution: http://pastebin.com/NZgBv7g9

Note that I'm not sure of the licence, gitorious mirror mentions GPLv2.

Your PKGBUILD is broken. I fix it:

I second maleadt.

The qtserialport dev team changed the project .pro file from serialport.pro to qtserialport.pro, it's necessary to update two lines in the build() step of the PKGBUILD or the package won't build.

Project file has been renamed to qtserialport.pro

Yes, thank you.

Can you adopt this package?

I want to share my own version - it has disabled examples and tests, installation with make install and removed reference to $srcdir.

Improved PKGBUILD and updated. For qt4.
