Arch Linux User Repository

Could you elaborate a little, vanguard1097? Why is python2 more correct than the current python and why change it after all those years?

GIT URL should be https://aur.archlinux.org/python2-sip-pyqt4.git

Had another look and it turns out I made a mistake trying to reproduce last time. It was an incompatible change in Python 3.11 after all. A fix has been pushed so compilation should work fine now.

Building with devtools (extra-x86_64-build) fails, same as dreieck

Can't reproduce but the update to Python 3.11 didn't reach me yet. I'm still on Python 3.10. Maybe that's the difference?

Edit: Hm, grabbed the Python 3.11 headers manually and it still compiles fine...

Build fails for me with siplib.c:13750:22: error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct _frame’:

It seems version 4.19.22 is no longer available from the riverbankcomputing source url given, I found I needed to use version 4.19.24 instead. I editted the PKGBUILD file in two places:

I was trying to install m4baker-git when I encountered the problem, and this change seemed to do the trick for me.

(p.s. I'm a very new Manjaro user, not sure what proper procedure for raising these issues with the maintainers in AUR, so that's the reason I'm just leaving this comment here.)

While sip-4.19.19 is still very much available, sip-4.19.22 is also available and should be the actual reason for flagging this package as out-of-date.

@Mechanical_Man python-pyqt4 has a "make" dependency on python-sip-pyqt4 and python2-sip-pyqt4. I think you just install the one you need.
