mxe cross compiler QSerialPort on mac

I am using qt 5.5.1 on mac os x and would like to develop an application for windows. So far so good. I have installed the cross compiler M cross environment (MXE) to generate .exe files. The compiler seems to work but I have the problem that mxe does not know the Qt library serialport. Because of using qt5.5 I no longer need to build Qt Serial Port manually. Qt Serial Port is officially part of Qt AFAIK. If I run the Qt Makefile generator tool with command:

<mxe root>/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5

I get the following error message:

Unknown module(s) in QT: serialport

In my applications *.pro file I added the following line:

QT       += serialport

Can anyone help me at this point. I think I have to link the serialport lib with mxe. But do not know how to solve this.

Thanks!

When building the qt packages of mxe, you should also build the qtserialport package. For Linux, refer to these instructions. Instead of

cd mxe && make qtbase

Do this:

cd mxe && make qtbase qtserialport
