Subject: Missing pyqtconfig module issue should now be fixed
Hi Arjen:
I am pretty sure this new pyqt-related CMake logic will work OK for you now on
MinGW-w64/MSYS2, but if not, please let me know what PYQT_SIP_DIR value
you needed to specify to work around this issue so I can improve those HINTS for
the PyQt4 case for finding that directory prefix on MinGW-w64/MSYS2.
Yes, it did work.
I am really happy to see this progress on the issue.
I accidentally used the wrong MinGW-w64/MSYS2 installation and got
Python 2 instead of 3 and that revealed that for Python 2 the SIP
subdirectory is "Py2-Qt4" instead of "PyQt4", but after persuading
CMake to use that directory, it all worked fine. I had to kill the
comprehensive tests, as they were taking too long, but what I did have
was encouraging (see tar file).
Did you forget to attach that tarball? Anyhow, it did not make it
here, and I am still most interested in those results.
The information you did state above was extremely helpful. Greg
Jung's two-year-old patch for this issue (which I never applied)
included the names Py2-Qt4 and Py3-Qt4, but I wasn't sure whether
those were needed for this platform or another one. But now you have
confirmed the Py2-Qt4 name above, that helps me understand the purpose
of Greg's patch a bit more.
To settle this question of the various names for the various
combinations of Python2 versus Python3 and Qt4 versus Qt5,
on MinGW-w64/MSYS2 could you please give me the complete results for
pkgfile QtCoremod.sip
? Once I have that information, I can update our HINTS so our users
don't have to specify PYQT_SIP_DIR on this platform regardless
of what combination of Python and Qt they try.
Alan
