Error while installing dependencies (ChromeOS)

[bachnou3i]

Description:
I am trying to install QualCoder on ChromeOS. Everything went well apart from satisfying the pyqt6 dependency. I tried with Python 3.11 and 3.10 but same problem.

Steps to Reproduce:

source qualcoder/bin/activate
pip install pyqt6

Expected Behavior:
install pyqt6 package

Actual Behavior:

Collecting pyqt6
  Using cached PyQt6-6.6.1.tar.gz (1.0 MB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... done
  Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error
  
  × Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

OK. Try using capitals for pyqt6:

pip install PyQt6

[bachnou3i]

Same error

This seems to be a common issue with PyQt6 on ChromeOS, nothing specific to QualCoder. See for instance: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73010472/require-help-installing-pyqt6
Try searching a little more if somebody found a solution installing PyQt6 an ChromeOS. Or ask for help in the PyQt community.
