qtsixa does not compile with g++-4.7 and newer unless includes to unistd.h are added to various files. Patch included.

[Dylan Morrison]

This is the result of trying to compile qtsixa 1.5.1 (the latest obtainable from SourceForge) on a g++-4.7 system:

[...]
g++ -O2 -Wall -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions sixad-bin.cpp bluetooth.cpp shared.cpp textfile.cpp -o bins/sixad-bin `pkg-config --cflags --libs bluez` -lpthread -fpermissive
sixad-bin.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
sixad-bin.cpp:89:18: error: ‘close’ was not declared in this scope
         close(ctl);
                  ^
sixad-bin.cpp:100:20: error: ‘sleep’ was not declared in this scope
             sleep(2);
[...]

And a number of repeat errors of the sort with read, execve, usleep, etc.
From a quick google I was able to find that these require unistd.h to be included, which was not included in any of the files that needed it, which were entirely contained in the "sixad" directory of the source.

I added it to all the files that need it, and have included a patch.

As per the guidelines:
Distro: Debian GNU/Linux jessie (testing)
QT version: 4.8.5+git209-g718fae5+dfsg-1
PyQT version: 4.10.3+dfsg1-1
QtSixA log:

Qt version: 4.8.6
PyQt version: 4.10.3
QtSixA version: 1.5.1
Will use 'sudo' for root actions

Found an older bug that's the same issue. Summary was a bit nonspecific, so I missed it, sorry.

Just a quick question, I'm really new to this and I'm not sure how to add the patch?
