I'd be delighted if someone proves me wrong but I suspect the chances of anyone claiming the bonus are near zero. I suspect that the python 2.7 development environment on Mac OS after El Capitan is seriously broken. I have spent a morning hacking the make files produced by various python configure scripts and managed to get sip (not to be confused with SIP, above) installed and to get the pyQT4 Core to find the include files but when I try to make pyQT I get the C compiler complaining about unknown type name which indicates that something is still wrong with the headers.Īt this point I give up. Update: The fundamental problem is that the python2.7 configure magic does not know about Mac OS SIP (System Integrity Protection) which prevents files in certain directories from being modified even by root. Yes, I was using sudo ) It isn't a straight forward permission problem. Same thing happens if you try and add any file to that directory. I managed to build without problems but running make install tried to install sip in the same directory as python and mac os gave the error "Operation not permitted".
INSTALL PYQT5 FOR MAC FOR MAC OS
The page admits that "installation for mac os can be complex". I then tried installing pyqt from but again I failed to get sip installed. At any rate it insists on installing python 3 and then dies trying to install sip but there are no obvious errors in the install log. The problem is that home brew will install only pyqt5 which, so far as I can tell, only works with python 3.


I am trying to write my first plugin following the tutorial at.
