Error in Installing: py24-pyqt4

[berg.michael1@…]

Hi! I am trying to compile FreeCAD from source on a PowerPC Mac running OS 10.5.8. For this, you must install, py-pyqt4; one of its dependencies being py24-pyqt4.

as you can see, when it first failed, I retried installing, again unsuccessfully. I am inexperienced using MacPorts, and am not able to discern anything from the error.

I couldn't find any related bugs, so hopefully this will have a solution

log file

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The log you attached is not from a clean build attempt. Please "sudo port clean py24-pyqt4", then try again, then attach the new log.

Also, python 2.4 is very old. Consider using a newer version of python, like 2.7, by using the py27-pyqt4 port instead.

[berg.michael1@…]

Cc Me!

[berg.michael1@…]

I'll do that when I get home. However, py24-pyqt4 is installed as a dependency for the package py-pyqt4. Will everything go as planned if I use py27-pyqt4 instead?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

py24-pyqt4 is not really a dependency of py-pyqt4. It is a sub-port. You cannot actually install py-pyqt4. Instead it is a wrapper for any supported version of python with pyqt4. By default it chooses py24 (python 2.4.x) right now, but that's really for legacy reasons. You should choose which version of python you want. py27-pyqt4 - the python 2.7.x version - is probably the best choice currently. py24-pyqt4 is scheduled to be removed.

Note that you do not need to Cc yourself as the ticket reporter.

Log while trying to install py27-pyqt4

[berg.michael1@…]

So I have (finally) tried to install py27-pyqt4, but it pulls up the same error as py24-pyqt4 did. I have attached another log file (py27-pyqt4.log). Everything proceeds normally, including getting the version of py27-pyqt4 for PowerPC, until it begins building py27-pyqt4.

Can you also attach the file "port dir py27-pyqt4/work/PyQt-mac-gpl-4.9.4/QtGui/sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp"? I'm guessing PyQt4 and/or SIP aren't playing nice with the older OS and/or the PPC.

File has been attached.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Thanks. That file contains "Generated by SIP 4.13.3". Did py27-sip 4.14.1 not get installed or activated somehow? What does "port installed | grep sip" return?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Your install of py27-sip is not compatible with the version of py27-pyqt4 that you're trying to install (too old). I would recommend the following:

sudo port clean py27-pyqt4
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade py27-sip
sudo port install py27-pyqt4

and, if that works then you can also do:

sudo port upgrade outdated

to upgrade all older ports. Post back how the above goes.

[berg.michael1@…]

Everything was going well, but I had the same issue as usual.

Error generated when installing py27-pyqt4 with the newer version of py27-sip

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Yup; same issue. Can you also attach the output of "port installed | grep sip" and also the file "sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp" as found before?

[berg.michael1@…]

I think I am doing something wrong here...

michael-bergs-power-mac-g5-2:~ michaelbergg5$ port installed | grep
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.
michael-bergs-power-mac-g5-2:~ michaelbergg5$ sip

[berg.michael1@…]

With updated version of py27-sip

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Do it as a single command:

port installed | grep sip

That way, you get just those installed ports (active or not) with the 'word' "sip" in them, instead of all installed ports.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

The newer file was created by "SIP 4.14.1", which is good. Now, I wonder what the issue really is ...

[berg.michael1@…]

I don't know how that "sip" didn't make it into the terminal... Well, here it is

michael-bergs-power-mac-g5-2:~ michaelbergg5$ port installed | grep sip
  py-sip @4.13.3_0 (active)
  py24-sip @4.13.3_0 (active)
  py27-sip @4.13.3_0
  py27-sip @4.14.1_0 (active)

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

This turns out to have been an issue with PyQt4, that they hopefully fixed in last night's snapshot (accord to ​http://www.mail-archive.com/pyqt@riverbankcomputing.com/msg26483.html ). I'll look into that commit and see if I can come up with a patch.

I think this ticket is probably a duplicate of ticket #36479, but I'll keep them both open for now.

[berg.michael1@…]

Should I retry building or wait for your patch?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Can't hurt to try rebuilding. I haven't had time to work on the patch just yet. Maybe later this coming week. Maybe they'll release an updated PyQt4 soon, since this a real issue for some Mac folks.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

PyQt4 4.9.6 just came out, so I'm updating to that & hopefully it'll fix this issue. I'll post back here once I've done that check-in, hopefully tonight, which unfortunately will require upgrading qt4-mac as well.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

This ticket's issue should be addressed in r100394, which upgrades py-pyqt4 to 4.9.6 (and thus includes their patches). I'm leaving this ticket open for now, waiting your feedback.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Any feedback?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Nope. Closing.
