Q7Basic.org

Qt does not have any embedded SerialPort, so Bernd added the code needed to use "qextserialport", kind of an addon.

In the Q7Basic directory there is a subdir Q7BSerialPort with the .cpp and .h files needed to compile.
There is also a file main.cpp wich should NOT be copied, it will someway collide with the projects compiling.
There is also a Q7BSerialPort.txt with the Declares for using the SerialPort.

Hope this is ... clearer...

Yup i did know that.
Those are called 'Extensions' by Bernd, i have played with the Zip/UnZip extension and the one for sending e-mail.
The part i missed is that the file main.cpp was causing problems.
I have setup a project 'SerailTest' and first places the declares from the txt file in global and hit run.
Everything compiled without error's but nothing happes after that.
Next i did a deploy again no error's but the final binary also will not run.
Try to compile it with creator and that one will trow an error from my head something with a duplicated _main in global.obj.
After saw your tip to remove and finally the the basic code in Q7B compiles and run.
Sorry for the mis understanding.

Found the troublemaker in main.cpp,

Code: Select all

int main(int argc, char **argv)

Bernd is also using main in Global.ccp

Code: Select all

int main (int argc, char *argv[])

That was creator telling me i guess and i couldn't find it.
I tested it as follows, in main.cpp i changed the word main to Main and placed main.cpp in the cpp directory of the project and no error's.
I don't think this is the solution because my knowledge of Qt is far to limited.

Code: Select all

sp.Open   'if I add the parens() I get a Syntax Error..

works here with the () without problems.

Hi Henning,

The goal is a Formless app running as a service.

It's not a service but perhaps you can do something with it.

Thanx!

I have a VB Class written by Sergey Merzlikin that creates an app to be run as a service. There is also a little "starter" app to register the app as a service.
I have used it in a few apps, and it works like a charm.
I'll see if I can rewrite it for Q7B, it is only using standard Windows API's. For Mac and Linux...
