qmake error - installation of QtSerialPort under Ubuntu x64 with QT5

[Brixus]

Hello everybody,

I tried to install QtSerialPort under Ubuntu x64 with QT5.

Poorly it is not working.


If I use the following command:

d@ubuntu:~/qtserialport/build$ sudo qmake /home/d/qtserialport/src/serialport/serialport.pro

d@ubuntu:~/qtserialport/build$ sudo qmake /home/d/qtserialport/src/serialport/serialport.pro

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I get the error:

Project MESSAGE: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/syncqt -module 
QtSerialPort -mkspecsdir /usr/share/qt5/mkspecs -outdir 
/home/d/qtserialport

In line 774 is written:

(!$basedir);

die "Could not find any sync.profile for your module!\nPass <module 
directory> to syncqt to sync your header files.\nsyncqt failed" if 
(!$basedir);

If I try to install it directly with QtCreator I also get errors.

Could you please help me to solve my problem?

I am a beginner and I have really no idea whats wrong or how to solve the problem.


Thank you very much :-)

Not sure why you are using sudo to run qmake. but have you checked if there is a .pro file in the actual top level directory?

E.g. /home/d/qtserialport/qtserialport.pro

Thanks,
there was a .pro file.

I found a solution.

I installed a new version of Qt and there QtSerialPort is already included. :-)
