[solved] Installation problems with Pyqt - locating old version of qmake
-
AFAIK, as soon as you want to run your application on your device, yes but again, it's an Apple constraint and it doesn't have anything to do with the framework your might be using.
-
Ah kk, so the only way to get PyQt would be to subscribe to the apple developers program and then run the same command. Do you know of any work arounds? I just want to have a play and learn some GUI programming with python, not do any actual development.
-
Then why iOS and not OS X ? Otherwise, use the simulator
-
Just replace the iOS qmake by the one for OS X and you should be good to go
-
Sorry I am aware that I am being really dim and these are probably very obvious questions but how do I replace the qmake, do you mean the qmake in the /Users/paulbaranowski1/Qt/5.4/ios/bin/qmake path? Do I need to redownload a Qt for OS X or are all the libraries etc the same so it doesnt matter?
-
Just change the path to the OS X version, if you installed Qt using the online installer and didn't select the OS X version, then just run the manager and add it. Otherwise, if you used the offline installer you should already have it.
You can use
find /Users/paulbaranowski1/Qt/5.4 -name "qmake"to find all installed qmake -
So I hadn't downloaded the OS X version I think, so I decided to just start again and install Qt from the beginning. I am in the Qt setup wizard and when selecting the components my options under Qt5.4 are clang-64bit, various androids and iOS. Where do I select the OS X version?
-
It's the clang-64
-
So that seemed to work other than I got the error:
Generating the C++ source for the QtCore module...
Error: Unable to create the C++ code.Do you have any idea why this is occurring? Again I apologise, I realise this is like when Im trying to get my mum to install word.
-
Got any error about sip not found ?
-
Indeed, then check again with --verbose
-
Was doing that as you replied, so things that seem a bit wierd are:
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'Drive/Personal/Code/PyQT/PyQt-gpl-5.4.1"'
Generating the C++ source for the QtCore module...
Error: Unable to create the C++ code.
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: webenginewidgets
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: axcontainer
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: winextrasthose are all the errors I can find
-
Since you tested with the iOS version before, did you restart from a clean source tree ?
-
I reinstalled from the online installer so its where it should be by default. Ive just reallised the no such file or directory is probably because I have the PyQt in a google drive folder with a space, ill move it out of there and make sure there are no spaces in teh path names
-
You're welcome !
Since you have it up and running now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
