[news24lor]

Hi

It's impossible to configure py27-qscintilla-qt4 on Mac OS 10.13.x The error is connected to PyQt4 that I have installed.

py27-qscintilla-qt4 does not see PyQt4

From main.log

Whithout qscintilla-qt4 it's impossible to build 'qgis 2.18.17'

Please, a fix for this bug

If you follow the instructions in this ticket < ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56993 > to either activate or reinstalll py27-pyqt4 @4.12.1_2, do that fix the issue for you?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

After a quick check I see this issue too, and reverting back to py*-pyqt4 @4.12.1_2 does the trick for me. Hopefully it does for you too.

In 6ff198d44950f8ff1cd8d03035ac29cb170796c9/macports-ports (master):

py*-pyqt4: revert version back to 4.12.1_2

Versions 4.12.2 and 4.12.3 change APIs (maybe remove some deprecated APIs) that cause incompatibilities with various dependent ports. As PyQt4 is somewhat of a critical port for many Qt4-related ports, we're reverting it back to the last known working version / revision.

Hopefully addresses:
+ #56993
+ #57087

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Please update your ports (sudo port selfupdate or sudo port sync or whatever script you prefer here). Then upgrade the outdated ports (sudo port upgrade outdated or whatever script you prefer here) to install the last known working version of py*-pyqt4 && it should fix this issue. Please report back success or failure.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

The commit fixes this issue for me, and with lack of feedback I'm assuming it does for others too. Hence, I'm closing this ticket as fixed.

Sorry

Now it builds with old pyqt4 4.12.1. This is fixed

Thanks
