Problem during PyQt build on Windows with Maya 2015 x64

[Mickael Bonfill]

Hello everyone,

I would install PyQt on Maya 2015 x64 to make UI. I saw there's a documentation file on Autodesk website : http://download.autodesk.com/us/support/files/maya_documentation/pyqtmaya2015.pdf

In the documentation, Microsoft Visual Studio is used to have a C-Compiler. However there's a new release in Microsoft website made especially for Python2.7 : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266

So I decided to use this new release and I writed new bat file :

sip.bat:

@echo off
set MAYAQTBUILD=%~dp0
set MAYAQTBUILD=%MAYAQTBUILD:~0,-1%
set SIPDIR=%MAYAQTBUILD%\sip-4.16.5
set MAYA_LOCATION=E:\Programmes\Autodesk\Maya2015
set MSVC_DIR=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0
if not exist "%MSVC_DIR%\vcvarsall.bat" (
 echo You need to download and install 'Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7' before running this.
 goto :end
)
call "%MSVC_DIR%\vcvarsall" amd64
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\include\python2.7;%MAYA_LOCATION%\Python\include
set LIB=%LIB%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\lib
cd %SIPDIR%
"%MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\mayapy" configure.py
nmake
nmake install
:end
pause

Using this, I didn't have any problem during compilation.

But I met a problem with the bat file below.

qt.bat:

@echo off
set MAYAQTBUILD=%~dp0
set MAYAQTBUILD=%MAYAQTBUILD:~0,-1%
set MAYA_LOCATION=E:\Programmes\Autodesk\Maya2015
set QTDIR=%MAYA_LOCATION%
set MSVC_VERSION=2008
set QMAKESPEC=%QTDIR%\mkspecs\win32-msvc%MSVC_VERSION%
set SIPDIR=%MAYAQTBUILD%\sip-4.16.5
set PYQTDIR=%MAYAQTBUILD%\PyQt-win-gpl-4.11.3
set MSVC_DIR=%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0
if not exist "%MSVC_DIR%\vcvarsall.bat" (
 echo You need to download and install 'Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7' before running this.
 goto :end
)
if not exist "%QMAKESPEC%\qmake.conf" (
 echo You need to uncompress %MAYA_LOCATION%\mkspecs\qt-4.8.5-mkspecs.tar.gz !
 goto :end
)
if not exist "%MAYA_LOCATION%\include\Qt\QtCore\qdir.h" (
 echo You need to uncompress %MAYA_LOCATION%\include\qt-4.8.5-include.tar.gz in %MAYA_LOCATION%\include\Qt !
 goto :end
)
findstr /L /C:"Headers=../include/Qt" %MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\qt.conf >nul 2>&1
if ERRORLEVEL 1 (
 echo You need to edit %MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\qt.conf to use 'Headers=../include/Qt'
 goto :end
)
echo All seems to be fine, setting amd64 compiler environment...
call "%MSVC_DIR%\vcvarsall" amd64
set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\include\python2.7;%MAYA_LOCATION%\Python\include
set LIB=%LIB%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\lib
cd %PYQTDIR%
set PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;%PATH%
echo Going to create compilation configuration files...
"%MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\mayapy" configure.py LIBDIR_QT=%QTDIR%\lib INCDIR_QT=%QTDIR%\include\Qt MOC=%QTDIR%\bin\moc.exe -w --no-designer-plugin
nmake
nmake install
:end
pause

Here's the output:

So it seems it can't resolve some variables, right ? Anyone met this kind of problem ?

Any help would be appreciated :)

Thank you.

Any particular reason you don't just stick with PySide since it is shipped? Pretty sure most people are now ditching the process of building PyQt for Maya, unless you have some specific reason.

Thank you for the fast reply, and yes I need PyQt for specicific and experimental reason. Now I wonder if I was too optimist by using latest release  of sip and PyQt, maybe not supported by qt-4.8.5... 

I will try version given in the autodesk doc example...

Yea you do need to stick with versions compatible to the specific Autodesk modified Qt version

Hi Mickael!

Did you get the chance to build PyQt for Maya 2015? I get the same problem also with PyQt-win-gpl-4.10.4 recommanded by Autodesk...

[Marcus Ottosson]

Here you go.
