QExtSerial will not compile under Qt5.0.0

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which version of QextSerialPort are you using?
1.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Download and build the library using the .pro file in QtCreator 
2.6.1/Qt5.0.0.  This seems to work.
2.  In your project add the qextserial Library and include path, 
3.  In your code put in both include files and in any code add a line like: 
ports = QextSerialEnumerator::getPorts();
4.  Try to build it, fails.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should compile without issue, instead I get:
debug\moc_qextserialport.cpp(158) : error C2027: use of undefined type 
'QextSerialPortPrivate'
        c:\users\david\google drive\mpr\src\host\debug\../../../PCWin32DevelopmentTools/qextserialport-1.2rc/src/qextserialport.h(167) : see declaration of 'QextSerialPortPrivate'

debug\moc_qextserialport.cpp(159) : error C2227: left of '->_q_canRead' must 
point to class/struct/union/generic type

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2, on Windows 7, VC2010+SP1+HotFix Qt5.0.0 Released version.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi RnD,

Seems there are something wrong with you. Once the library has been compiled 
and installed to your computer through

     qmake
     nmake install

all you need is add following line to your project's file

    CONFIG += extserialport

if your are using qmake and Qt Creator.  

Or you can set the INCLUDEPATH/LIBS/DEFINES manully. 

https://code.google.com/p/qextserialport/wiki/QextSerialPort_1_2_RC#Usage(2):Sha
red_Library 
--------------------
BTW, the reason you encounter the error is that, qextserialport.h has been 
added to your project as a in-project header file. Maybe you wrongly added 
following line to your project's file

    HEADERS += $pathtoqesp/qextserialport.h

or something similiar.

was this problem ever solved?

The reason are the lines :

#ifdef Q_OS_WIN
    Q_PRIVATE_SLOT(d_func(), void _q_onWinEvent(HANDLE))
#endif

in qextserialport.h

If compiled in Visual Studio, all works fine, if compiled with nmake (or jom) 
you get the errors.

As workaround, I
 - Added a precompiled header including "qextserialport.h" and "qextserialport_p.h" to the project

 - removed the line
#include "moc_qextserialport.cpp"
in qextserialport.cpp

 - removed the line
#include "moc_qextserialenumerator.cpp"
in qextserialenumerator.cpp
