I had to add all py27-qt5 "DEPENDS", cause it was not compile to the end.q But then it starts without problems. +BUilD_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/PyQt5/Qsci.so:devel/py-qt5-qscintilla2 +RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/PyQt5/QtNetwork.so:net/py-qt5-network \ + ${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/PyQt5/QtSvg.so:graphics/py-qt5-svg \ + ${PYTHON_SITELIBDIR}/PyQt5/QtSql.so:databases/py-qt5-sql \
It appears that, on compilation, the Ui files are hard coded to either PyQt4 or PyQt5. In my situation I had PyQt5 installed (but Eric was compiled against PyQt4). This caused Eric to try PyQt5 first, until it loaded a Ui file.
Created attachment 173787 [details] Fix Eric6 when PyQt5 is also installed Fix Eric6 when PyQt5 is installed by passing `--pyqt=4` to the install arguments. This causes the eric6 binary to assume `--pyqt4` is passed, preventing the loading of PyQt5 if it is installed. While here fix the warning about absolute symlinks.
(In reply to David Naylor from comment #3) I see in the patch you are adding -pyqt=5 not -pyqt=4.
Created attachment 173788 [details] Fix typo Sorry, change got lost in my attempt to add PyQt5 support to the port (in progress) and then retrospectively redid the change.
David, are you interested in maintaining this port? I've switched to other editors, so do not use it any more.
Boris, happy to maintain eric. Out of interest, what editors are you using now?
David, please do. I'll be happy to pass the port to you. For python I use java/intellij-pycharm.
Created attachment 173797 [details] Add support for both PyQt 4 and PyQt 5 (as an option) Currently this does not work: ``` (gdb) bt #0 0x000001bb00000db4 in ??

Is the question why. I tested the patch on my system (10.3-RELEASE) and it works. I see the difference between qt4 and qt5 cause it has on my system different configuration (e.g. fonts). And both seems to work, compiles, installs and starts without problems. (A weak try: reinstall py-sip and py-setuptools, and see if you have a better result. This solves some problems with python in the past).
Strange, I can reproduce it with this simple script: ``` #!/usr/bin/env python from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget from PyQt5.Qsci import QsciScintilla app = QApplication([]) widget = QWidget() qsci = QsciScintilla(widget) ``` I also install the required dependencies from packages, maybe I need to reinstall (or try from source).
Little bit strange, sometime I got the error-message on commandline, sometimes in the debug window, but mostly not. My idea: Put in /usr/local/share/eric6/eric6.py restartArgsList = ["--nosplash", "--plugin", "--debug", "--config", "--pyqt4" "--settings"] "--pygt4" on first place in the ArgsList - maybe, it is only the debug message. Sometimes it runs still (mostly not), if I close the windows, but I am not sure if this is not a "shell-thing".
i can't test, see above, not always came the error message: Another way maybe (don't know if the syntax is right) 49 from PyQt5.QtCore import qWarning, QLibraryInfo, QTimer, QCoreApplicatio 50 except ImportError: 51 use("Qt4Agg") and 87 from PyQt5.QtCore import QSettings 88 use("Qt4Agg")
