I want to install qtserialport in precise1-Ubuntu. I got the source directory using git. next I download lib-qt4-dev and qmake. I ran qmake. it works fine.
but, make fails with the following error:

    cd src/ && make -f Makefile

although make fails, I can now include qtserialport header to my project. and about the failure, I checked main.cpp, it includes serialPortSrcInfo.so, this .so file has already been generated when qmake was called. how can I fix the problem?

AFAIK it is based on Qt5+.
I am using Qtserial in my project (pilotnavigator). My QTSDK 5+ is installed locally (not via apt). These are the instructions.

• Copy qtplayground-qtserialport folder into a local folder (preferably where your Qt projects are). Example: ~/yourqtprojectfolder/pilotnavigator/qtplayground-qtserialport
  


• Create a build folder at the same level called qtplayground-qtserialport-build in pilotnavigator folder. Example: ~/yourqtprojectfolder/pilotnavigator/qtplayground-qtserialport-build
  

Find out where qmake lives. Normaly it is located in your Qt5 folder, probably ~/Qt5x.x.x/5.x.x/gcc_64/bin

Open a Linux Terminal

cd to the qtplayground-qtserialport-build folder. Example cd ~/yourqtprojectfolder/pilotnavigator/qtplayground-qtserialport-build

run qmake. Example:

~/Qt5x.x.x/5.x.x/gcc_64/bin/qmake ~/yourqtprojectfolder/pilotnavigator/qtplayground-qtserialport/qtserialport.pro

make

(If you get an error concerning missing file libudev.h, you need to install the libudev-dev library, e.g. sudo apt-get install libudev-dev)

sudo make install
