Also cool.

Well, I've managed to build it. Sort of. SleepHead builds as it is with
Debian libraries but I think I ran into a bug in libqextserialport. The only
reason I didn't file a bug report yet is that I don't trust my conclusion about
the bug. 

When I tried to build SH I got an error saying qextserialport.h was not

found:
oximetry.h:17:28: fatal error: qextserialport.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

In my machine, the problem is that the file
/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/features/extserialport.prf

points to the wrong include directory:
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/qt4/QtExtSerialPort

The .h files were installed in:
/usr/include/QtExtSerialPort

Changing the .prf file so that it points to the right location allowed me to

build and run SH without problems.

The reason I'm not sure this is a bug in libqextserialport is that I built

libqextserialport-dev myself from the source package (with dpkg-buildpackage
-b) and installed in a stable machine, so there is a chance I made a mistake

somewhere. Also qextserialport have been in testing since 2013-07-23. Any

package using this library and building with qmake and
CONFIG += extserialport

in the project file should have found this bug, but there are no bugs listed in

the package.

So what do you think should I do? File the bug report anyway?

Best wishes,

Bira.
