qmake version

[andrewbernard]

Shouldn't this code use qt5 qmake, not qt4 qmake?

[wbsoft]

Indeed, but on my system I need to specify QT_SELECT=5 qmake, there is only one qmake in /usr/bin.

[fedelibre]

Perhaps few lines may be added in the INSTALL file?

qtchooser helps to understand the system default:

$ qtchooser -print-env
QT_SELECT="default"
QTTOOLDIR="/usr/lib64/qt4/bin"
QTLIBDIR="/usr/lib64/qt4"

$ qtchooser -l
4-64
4
5-64
5
default

On my system (where default is 4) I use these three commands (sudo must be called separately; the -s allows to stay in the same directory while switching to root):

QT_SELECT=5 python3 setup.py build
sudo -s
QT_SELECT=5 python3 setup.py install

[fedelibre]

In my system (Fedora24), qmake is not in the path so I had to add it to the bashrc of both the user and root:

PATH=/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/:"${PATH}"

The error message when running the install was:

Failed to determine Qt version ([Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'qmake').

[wbsoft]

You can also use the --qmake-bin option (see python3 setup.py build_ext --help)

I'm preparing a Portfile for python-poppler-qt5 for MacPorts.
When running setup.py with the install target, I'm getting the error

Failed to determine Qt version ([Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'qmake').

Here's the full command:

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/python3.5 setup.py --no-user-cfg install --prefix=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5 --root=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_ports-test_python_py-poppler-qt5/py35-poppler-qt5/work/destroot

I also get these three messages in the log:

running install
running build
running build_ext

so it seems that the install target runs also the build and build_ext targets.
I tried adding the argument --qmake-bin=/opt/local/libexec/qt5/bin/qmake as I had to do for the build_ext target, but I (obviously) get the error

error: option --qmake-bin not recognized

Any suggestions?

P.S. When are you planning to release 0.24.3? I had to manually backport #3...

[drydh]

The install does indeed also do build. To get it to compile in Fink I used the "--skip-build" option in the installation phase. Here's the relevant part of my FinkInfo-file for python-poppler-qt5.

SetCPPFLAGS: -I%p/lib/qt5-mac/include

[drydh]

Btw, I built against commit 30e02fd. I also vote for releasing 0.24.3.

[dliessi]

Thanks, with --skip-build I go further, but I still get that error later.
Here's the relevant part of MacPorts' log file:

Any ideas?

[drydh]

Not really. I know very little about python packaging. I saw that my install gave:

running install
running install_lib

In particular it does not run "egg_info" and my resulting egg-info is a single file (= PKG-INFO). Perhaps this is due to different versions of setuptools. But I wonder where your error message "Failed to determine Qt version" is coming from.

I found that Federico Bruno had a similar/identical problem which was fixed by

QT_SELECT=5 python3 setup.py install

[dliessi]

Unfortunately setting QT_SELECT=5 does not solve my issue, but I expected it, given the different environments.
The real question is why install is trying to use qmake also with --skip-build.
@wbsoft any ideas?

P.S. Sorry for using this issue instead of opening a new one: @wbsoft if you think it is better I'll open a new issue for my problem.

[dliessi]

I was finally able to make MacPorts successfully build python-poppler-qt5.
Again, sorry for hijacking this issue.

[s-m-e]

I am running openSUSE Leap 42.2 with both qt4 and 5. Qmake is available in two versions for me: qmake for Qt4 and qmake-qt5 for Qt5. QT_SELECT=5 is not honored when running qmake. Passing --qmake-bin=/usr/bin/qmake-qt5 into the installer is not honored, too. Any suggestions?

[fedelibre]

What you get from qtchooser -l?

IIRC openSUSE uses rpm, like Fedora. An rpm package exists for Fedora; it's not available yet in openSUSE? I know they are different projects, but maybe this information can help.

$ rpm -q python3-poppler-qt5
python3-poppler-qt5-0.24.2-2.fc26.x86_64

[abdulazeemomer]

i have this error below:-

[root@localhost PyQt-gpl-5.4]# python3.4 configure.py --qmake /usr/bin/qmake-qt5

[fedelibre]

As far as I can see here, python3-poppler-qt5 has been packaged for OpenSUSE as well.

It's worth saying that people willing to just run Frescobaldi should install python3-poppler-qt5 from their distro repository (best choice) or from the PyPI via pip.

[fedelibre]

[root@localhost PyQt-gpl-5.4]# python3.4 configure.py --qmake /usr/bin/qmake-qt5

Are you in the wrong directory? Or in the wrong Github page? :-)
There's no configure.py in this project.

[fedelibre]

It's been a while since I had this issue, but today I managed to build it very quickly by following Wilbert's suggestion above. Here's the command which works on Fedora 28:

python3 setup.py build_ext --qmake-bin /usr/bin/qmake-qt5

[fedelibre]

I am running openSUSE Leap 42.2 with both qt4 and 5. Qmake is available in two versions for me: qmake for Qt4 and qmake-qt5 for Qt5. QT_SELECT=5 is not honored when running qmake. Passing --qmake-bin=/usr/bin/qmake-qt5 into the installer is not honored, too. Any suggestions?

@s-m-e QT_SELECT=5 works for me on Fedora 28.

Premise: you should first add this directory to the PATH in .bashrc, otherwise qmake won't be found:

export PATH=/usr/lib64/qt5/bin/:"${PATH}"

Then:

$ qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.7 in /usr/lib64

$ QT_SELECT=5 qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.11.1 in /usr/lib64

I've recently found out that you can set qt5 permanently using update-alternatives:

$ update-alternatives --list | grep ^qt
qtchooser-5	auto	/etc/xdg/qtchooser/5-64.conf
qtchooser-4	auto	/etc/xdg/qtchooser/4-64.conf
qtchooser-default	auto	/etc/xdg/qtchooser/4.conf

$ sudo update-alternatives --config qtchooser-default
[sudo] password for fede: 

There are 2 programs which provide 'qtchooser-default'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
   1           /etc/xdg/qtchooser/5.conf
*+ 2           /etc/xdg/qtchooser/4.conf

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 1

Now I don't need to use QT_SELECT anymore to let QMake use Qt5:

]$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.11.1 in /usr/lib64
