[SOLVED] unable to full compile PyQt5_gpl-5.9.2 on -current

dimm0k · 03-17-2020, 10:43 PM

been trying to get PyQt5 5.9.2 compiled and packaged for my system running -current using the build scripts from both SBo and from ponce's fork, but it keeps crapping out with the following

Code:

Generating the C++ source for the QtCore module...
/usr/bin/sip -w -x VendorID -t WS_X11 -t Qt_5_13_2 -x Py_v3 -f -B Qt_6_0_0 -P -o -c /tmp/SBo/PyQt5_gpl-5.9.2/QtCore -I sip -I /tmp/SBo/PyQt5_gpl-5.9.2/sip /tmp/SBo/PyQt5_gpl-5.9.2/sip/QtCore/QtCoremod.sip
sip: Deprecation warning: the -B flag is deprecated
Error: Unable to create the C++ code.

from my understanding, the requirements for PyQt5 seem to only be enum where sip and qt5-webkit is already part of -current. anyone able to get this going on their end and have any advice?

You should not be trying to compile/install this ancient version of PyQt5.
You'll have to recompile sip first, so that it picks up Qt5. Then grab the latest PYQt5 source and build it. Scripts can be found on my 'ktown' repository for KDE Plasma5: https://slackware.nl/alien-kde/source/latest/deps/

FWIW, I don't think you have used the version in the unofficial fork of current too, because I updated it to 5.13.2 more than one month ago...

thanks all, I was able to get the latest version of PyQt5 installed! I had neglected to check what the latest version was and was simply going by what was given at SBo...

definitely out of scope, however now this looks to have created another issue in that the program I was originally attempting to install (Anki) looks to require the older version due to PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets being removed/replaced from my limited understanding of PyQt5.

{~}$ anki
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/X11R6/bin/anki", line 6, in <module>
import aqt
File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
from aqt.qt import *
File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/qt.py", line 17, in <module>
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets'

if anyone has any suggestions on this...

maybe you need just this (that actually depends only on the newer PyQt5 that you should have just installed)

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...PyQtWebEngine/

obviously with the fixes needed for current that you should already be able to find in the latest version of the unofficial repository
