Building
Obtain Dependencies
- Qt5 development packages
- Qt5 SerialPort module
- CMake
- Mercurial
Under Ubuntu/Debian:
apt install qtbase5-dev libqt5serialport5-dev cmake mercurial
Download and Install Qwt [Optional]
Qwt is the library that provides
plotting widgets for SerialPlot. You have 3 different options for Qwt.
-
Leave it to serialplot build scripts. Qwt will be downloaded over
SVN and built for you. You should havesvn
installed for this. -
If your linux distribution has
libqwt-qt5-dev
orqwt-qt5-devel
package, install it and setBUILD_QWT
cmake option tofalse
. -
Download Qwt 6 here
and build it yourself per these
instructions
and install. Make sure you use Qt5 (not Qt4) to build. And set
BUILD_QWT
cmake option tofalse
.
Download and Build SerialPlot
You can use Mercurial to download SerialPlot source code. Or you can
download it from here:
https://bitbucket.org/hyOzd/serialplot/downloads
hg clone https://hyOzd@bitbucket.org/hyOzd/serialplot cd serialplot mkdir build && cd build cmake .. make
You can also build with QtCreator IDE using serialplot.pro
file.
Known Issues
-
On Ubuntu 16.04 / Linux Mint 18, removing USB serial device while it
is open in SerialPlot, causes application to go into a nasty loop
and eventually it crashes. This is a bug of Qt 5.5. I have uploaded
a patched version of the problematiclibqt5serialport5
package to
launchpad ppa. If you install SerialPlot from there, you shouldn't
have any problems. -
Port error 13 happens when closing. This is a Qt issue. It's known
to not happen with Qt 5.4.1 . Not fatal.
