py37-pyqt5 configuration failure

[asg243]

I am attempting to use uhd and gnuradio to interface with a software defined radio device on a Mac-Pro that is running El Capitan 10.11.16. When attempting to install either it runs into an error that py37-pyqt5 os unable to be configured. It also give a warning about Qt dependency. Since py37-pyqt5 is outdated gnuradio can't be installed, and upgrading py37-pyqt5 gives the same errors.

please add the main.log file mentioned in the error message. It's possible that on El Capitan one cannot install a new enough version of Qt5 anymore for it to build, but that's hard to say without the log.

According to our ​build statistics we had a successful build of this port on El Capitan last time we tried, but that was in March 2021. Something could have happened with its dependencies since then. We do need to see the main.log to see what the problem was.

I've attached the main.log file from the latest attempt at installing py37-pyqt5.

It seems that you're actually trying to install py27-pyqt5 and not PY37, correct? Anyway, the relevant error is:

:info:configure Error: Failed to determine the detail of your Qt installation. Try again using
3637	:info:configure the --verbose flag to see more detail about the problem.
3638	:info:configure Querying qmake about your Qt installation...

3641	:info:configure Project ERROR: Could not resolve SDK Path for 'macosx10.11' using --show-sdk-path

and that appears to be a duplicate of ticket 58760.

Can you please take a look what's discussed there and do some of the checks that Ken suggested there (for example, check what SDKs you have installed with xcodebuild -showsdks)?

[asg243]

Yes, the included main.log file is from a py27-pyqt5 installation, but I also receive this error for a py37-pyqt5 installation as well and will attach that main.log too. Thank you, I'll take a look at Ken' suggestions from the previous ticket.

I've followed along with Ken's suggestions from ticket 58760. The SKD installed matches for OS X 10.11 -sdk macosx10.11. I also had to change my Command Line Tools version to match the Xcode version, and now have CLTools version 7.1.0, and Xcode Version 7.1.1. I think this is the correct match because I could not find a CLTools specifically for Xcode 7.1.1 on the Apple developer site.

The only thing that is not consistent with that ticket is that I can't find the folder /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDK to check the contents of the SDK folder. Inside the folder /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools there is only Library and usr.

After checking those things both gnuradio and uhd have been successfully installed. Thank you for your help in sorting this all out.
