Sorry I was a little swamped these last days. Going to dive into this.

You have a glitch with your PyQt4 install, the same as the buildbot. When you type:

Air > python2.7
Python 2.7.11 (default, Mar  2 2016, 07:56:04) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import PyQt4.uic.pyuic

What do you get? You should get:

Error: one input ui-file must be specified

[hansen.m@…]

$ python2.7
Python 2.7.11 (default, Mar 15 2016, 20:31:45)

Replying to hansen.m@…:

Same here.

Not sure if this helps, but I noticed that there is some cmake magic [1] going on that generates a wrapper script if the pyuic4 script is not present. The script was named pyuic4-2.7 instead of pyuic4. Another thing I noticed was that in another pyuic4 wrapper script [2] the executable python is called explicitly, which for me was referring to python35, without PyQt4 installed.

To get qgis building I made 2 changes:

• I had to port select python27 and then set it back afterwards.
• I also created a symbolic link from pyuic4 to pyuic4-2.7 (in /opt/local/bin), but I did not test it without this link.

I already had python27 as my default (and only) version installed. I made the symlink for pyuic4, but my build for 2.14.2 still fails :-(

$ python --version
Python 2.7.10
$ pyuic4 --version
Python User Interface Compiler 4.11.4 for Qt version 4.8.7

The last version that worked for me was 2.12.3.

Please retry with the 2.16 version and reopen a bug if necessary.
