I'm attempting to make use of the newly included QtSerialPort in Qt v5.1.1 but I'm running into some issues when trying to compile that I have little experience with. From my searching it seems that the QtSerialPort from qt 5.1 doesn't come built and ready to use, am I correct in this? How would I prepare it using either Qt Creator or Visual Studio 2010? I just recently upgraded from 4.8.4 and inherited the project so I'm not sure what all was done previously. I've found instructions for compiling with various Linux versions but nothing for Windows seemed consistent or straightforward so I was hoping someone here had some more concrete instructions.
Thank You!
EDIT: I'll add a specific error or two that I'm getting, maybe that'll help identify what I'm doing wrong.
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __thiscall QSerialPort::metaObject(void)const " (?metaObject@QSerialPort@@UBEPBUQMetaObject@@XZ)
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall QSerialPort::QSerialPort(class QObject *)" (__imp_??0QSerialPort@@QAE@PAVQObject@@@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall serial_client::serial_client(class QObject *)" (??0serial_client@@QAE@PAVQObject@@@Z)
These are just two of 21 errors that show up at compile time. As I mentioned in the comments neither Visual Studio 2010 or Qt Creator seem to recognize the QtSerialPort libraries.
