<p>Scott,</p>
<p>It's not the serial port.</p>
<p>qextscintilla.h</p>
<p>I found packages in the repo that provided the header, but it was
also looking for some other classes based on that and other
scintilla headers.</p>
<p>The real problem with OpenSource is abandonware.</p>
<p>The real problem with abandonware is nobody sweeps up the Web
pages listing it.</p>

<p>That is how I got pointed at CUTE. It seemed interesting to look
at. The entire build process is something of a house of cards. It
appears to have been designed around one building whatever version
of Scintilla it was using in a directory at the same level. Not
really able to adapt to installed headers and libraries.</p>

<p>The header file was/is looking for constants to use within enums.</p>

void readConfig();

<p>A smart man would quit poking this with a stick. I'm just not
that smart.</p>

There was also a group of guys (I did a bunch with them) about 10 years ago that had a ton of cool Qt extensions. I fixed a bunch of issues in the SMTP connector code. But unfortunately that project died, and no one ever ported to Qt 5. I cant even find them online anymore.

Subject: The version of Qext that worked with CUTE
All,
I knew better than to go down this road, but I wanted to "see" it. Spent the day installing older and older Ubuntu versions in VMs trying to get
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/cute/">https://sourceforge.net/projects/cute/</a>
to build, just to look at it. It appears I need an old Qext package that is not in any of the Ubuntu repositories to make things work. While the last update may say 2013 on SourceForge, it appears the code is Ubuntu
8.04 LTS vintage. If someone could point me to a free to download and use 2008 vintage package of this project I would appreciate it.
Yes, this went way beyond sanity. I admit that. It became one of those "I should be able to make this work" things that inhaled a day.
Thanks,
