[SailfishDevel] no c++ in Sailfish?

[Wim de Vries]

My application is an aircraft navigation system (open source, see 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pilotnavigator/), currently  running on 
Ubuntu.
I have one QGLWidget and physically next to that a GUI QtWidget.
Mainwindow is also a QtWidget.
I stumbled on this C++ issue when I posted a question on how to use the 
QtSerialPort (for gps and pressure sensors) module within Sailfish.
I do want to port the GUI to QML somewhere in time (I have done some 
testing: huge amount of work), but I first want to test the application 
on Sailfish as it is now.
I do use the pro file of the current project, but I have to add the 
QtSerialPort to the (Mer?) SDK before I can build the project.
On Ubuntu I just build the .pro file of QtSerialPort with the current 
qmake, and the libs, headers, etc. end up nicely within the SDK, ready 
to be used for new projects.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
