Fix Darwin build

[jayvdb]

With this, and a few other changes in other related repos, pyqt5-tools designer works on Mac

[altendky]

Thanks for the help! Hopefully I can give it a try today. My recollection was that my hangup was with identifying all the dependencies that needed to be included so I'm a bit confused that there isn't more work for that. But, maybe I was just heading down the wrong path... But really, this is years in the waiting so, excited! :] Thanks!

There is some unsolved problems with qt 5.14.1 and earlier, which I have excluded from CI. Probably you were hitting those problems, which are thankfully solved in qt 5.14.2+ , and hopefully dont re-appear in v6. If you have problems with v6, disable mac for #11 and I'll investigate them after you've merged.

[jayvdb]

ping @altendky, did you get a chance to look at this, and altendky/pyqt-plugins#14 . I'd like to keep working on a solution based on this, esp adding qmlformat and qmllint to pyqt-tools, but I need the mac support for this to be viable.

[altendky]

I spent most of the weekend on another project, but yes, I did start into this and ran into unrelated build issues in qt-tools that I need to deal with, or maybe shortcut around.

[jayvdb]

I took the shortcut in qt-tools ; these packages are wickedly interwoven.

[jayvdb]

ping @altendky ;-)

[jayvdb]

@altendky , is there anything I can do to help this along, in this repo or the associated repos?

[altendky]

Sorry for leaving you hanging. :[ The reminders have been polite, appropriate, and appreciated. I've been focused on another project and have a third kind of hanging in the corners too that needs attention. I'll at least put in a few hours this morning and see where I can get.

Hey guys, nothing to do with this project, but how can I make pyqt5-tools work on my mac? It always gives me errors when i type "pip3 install pyqt5-tools"

[jayvdb]

We're waiting on altendky/pyqt-plugins#15 being ready.

[altendky]

With @jayvdb, I think we've got all layers... working? I have disabled 5.14.0 and 5.14.1 on macOS. @jayvdb, did you have any understanding of what the issue is with them? I didn't dig into it. Is it Qt? PyQt? Python 3.5 failures on Windows I think are caused by path length limits that go away once lower layers are released so I'm planning on ignoring those unless they continue after the sub-layers do get published.

[altendky]

@SKing606 also note that there is altendky/pyqt-tools#12. Maybe we get lucky and it gets closed soon.

[altendky]

@jayvdb, would you have time to try out the wheels in the artifacts for the following builds? You should be able to download the .zip, extract the .whl, then yourenv/bin/pip install this.whl that.whl another.whl and_one_more.whl or yourenv/bin/pip install wheels/*.whl or whatever.

Hmm, not quite that easy

[altendky]

@jayvdb thanks for trying this out. I get the issue with the dependencies and yeah, another bit there to make more pleasant for development. I'm not sure what you are showing with the second message or whether it seems to be working for you.

[jayvdb]

Yea, just showing that it is working after installing. Happy to run any other snippets you want in order to verify it is working correctly.

[altendky]

@jayvdb I was thinking using the pyqt5-tools layer and making sure applications open, the demo cli options work such as designer showing the example widget in the widget list, etc.

[altendky]

@jayvdb, pending your go ahead that at least your installation "works" I think I'm ready to start into the release process on this. Mostly just qt-applications is the important layer to not re-release due to its big size. So, we shouldn't need to do this for all the layers. Just this first and then again at the end with a just-from-PyPI installation.

Thanks for your work on this. Been a lot of years waiting to get support for all three platforms. :]

[jayvdb]

My installation works.
