[wp34s] Need help compiling the Qt emulator (Win7)

[emece67]

In fact I had read that file prior to my first post. But following its instructions didn't worked for me to get an error free compilation.

Current MinGW distributions do not support gcc versions < 4.6 and, when you install Qt 4.8.4 (the Qt version stated in such file), it claims for a MinGW version (4.4) no longer (easily) available and warns you about possible issues with your installed MinGW other than 4.4.

As I, definitely, get issues when compiling, I assumed that the MinGW/Qt version mismatch was the reason, so I opted for maintaining the Qt version at 4.8.4 and using a MinGW version "close" to that expected by Qt, ending up with the tool mix I posted earlier. It almost worked, as I also needed to compile and install a library (QExtSerialPort) present neither in Qt 4.8.4 nor MinGW 4.6.2, but needed at the linking stage (in any case, even with an error free compilation, the I/O comms. do not work in my case).

Perhaps in OSX or Linux the situation is easier, but this is what I needed in Win7.

Regards.

Edit: downloading the qextserialport library sources from git hub, I'm now able to compile a fully working (including comms) Qt emulator.
