py27-pyqt4 @ 4.9.4 g++ build fails with qglyphrun

[lionel.arend@…]

When compiling the C++ code generated by sip, a build error occurs in QtGui/sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:

sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: ‘QGlyphRun’ was not declared in this scope
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: template argument 1 is invalid
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected `>' before ‘*’ token
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected `(' before ‘*’ token
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: pointer of type ‘void *’ used in arithmetic
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: ‘void*’ is not a pointer-to-object type
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: ‘QGlyphRun’ cannot appear in a constant-expression
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: template argument 1 is invalid
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected `>' before ‘*’ token
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected `(' before ‘*’ token
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected primary-expression before ‘>’ token
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected `)' before ‘;’ token
sipQtGuiQList0100QGlyphRun.cpp:43: error: expected `)' before ‘;’ token

This happens several times, for other occurences of QGlyphRun.

I'm using a Powerbook G4, OSX 10.5 and Xcode 3.1.4. qt4-mac is at 4.8.3_1+quartz, py27-sip is 4.13.3_0. All ports are up-to-date. I tried using macx-g++40 and macx-g++42 for the compilation, with equal results. Maybe sip generates erroneous code, or I need even a newer compiler?

Thank you for any help, full log is attached.

main.log file of py27-pyqt4 build

Wow; I don't even know where to start. I'll percolate on this over the weekend and see what comes up.

The source file which causes the errors

[loki23@…]

Thank you. I hope you can reproduce it. I also added the cpp file generated by sip.

Did someone verify that this works on 10.5/i386? If not, the powerpc keyword isn't warranted.

Same error in the same place. Here I'm using Py27-PyQt 4.9.5, but other software and the OS are the same versions.

And like Lionel I'm on a PowerMac (but a G5 not a G4 FWIW).

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

It looks like the OP's issue is that the installed version of SIP is too old (4.13.3; required for PyQt4 4.9.5 is SIP 4.14 or newer). I would recommend all of you trying 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.

After following Michael's suggestions the problem persists, for me at least. However, I learned a couple of nights ago from Phil Thompson via ​the PyQt mailing list that there had been "a problem with non-Cocoa builds of Qt v4.8.x" which should have been fixed in that night's snapshots. I haven't tried that yet.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Thanks! 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 #36801, but I'll keep them both open for now.

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.

[loki23@…]

I get a successful built now for py27-pyqt4 at version 4.9.6_1. (And all dependencies up to date). Thanks a lot!

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Great; thanks for reporting back.
