[solved] Installation problems with Pyqt - locating old version of qmake

SGaist

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.

SGaist

Got any error about sip not found ?

@SGaist

I thought that may be an issue but the output includes:

SIP 4.16.7 is being used.
The sip executable is
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/sip.

So I can only assume it has found it

SGaist

Indeed, then check again with --verbose

@SGaist

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: winextras

those are all the errors I can find

SGaist

Since you tested with the iOS version before, did you restart from a clean source tree ?

@SGaist

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

Paul1234

@SGaist I think its installed! It all seemed to work perfectly, I will try and run a simple PyQt app tomorrow but I think its working! Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it, I would have got nowhere

SGaist
