QtPdf building issue

Kutyus

Hello!

I want to compile a QtPdf module with MSVC (Windows 10 64 bit), but qmake returns an error:

WARNING: Python version 2 (2.7.5 or later) is required to build QtPdf.

WARNING: QtPdf will not be built.

However, python is installed on the machine:

python --version
Python 3.9.4

Thank you, Kutyus

@Kutyus said in QtPdf building issue:

Python version 2 (...) is required

You've python 3.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I uninstalled python 3, changed the %PATH% variable so that python 2 works, but the error still remains::

Note: The following modules are not being compiled in this configuration:
    webenginecore
    webengine
    webenginewidgets
    pdf
    pdfwidgets

WARNING: Python version 2 (2.7.5 or later) is required to build QtPdf.

WARNING: QtPdf will not be built.

Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'nmake'.
Once everything is built, you must run 'nmake install'.
Qt will be installed into 'C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64'.

Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
the previous build.


C:\Qt\5.15.2\Src\qtwebengine>python --version
Python 2.7.18

C:\Qt\5.15.2\Src\qtwebengine>

Then I don't know - look around from where the error comes to see if it picks up the correct python version.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I deleted all .stash, .config and .cache files from the directory, and now running :)
