jmirabel commented 4 years ago

Can the binary on robotpkg include pyqcustomplot and pyqgv plugins ? They must be turned on with a CMake variable. Have a look at plugin/CMakeLists.txt.

nim65s commented 4 years ago

for pyqcustomplot & pyqgv, this require PythonQt, which is not well packaged yet.

Are you using https://github.com/gepetto/pythonqt ?

I think that if we manage to use https://github.com/MeVisLab/pythonqt instead, it would be really better. If this only requires writing and testing a FindPythonQt.cmake, I can handle that.

If we really need our fork for other reasons than packaging, I think we should either try to contribute our modifications to the upstream repo, or properly fork it and change its name to avoid collisions.

There are libpythonqt-*-dev packages in 18.04, so we just can't provide ours in its place.

I used PythonQt from https://github.com/commontk/PythonQt. I tried to get my changes accepted but couldn't.

If I remember well, the differences (with https://github.com/commontk/PythonQt) are only some CMake stuff. The binaries, as of a few years ago, did not initialize everything. This, however, can easily be fixed if we know what should be initialized. By that I mean that we shouldn't rely on the PythonQt_QtAll extension and put this file https://github.com/Gepetto/PythonQt/blob/qt4/extensions/PythonQt_QtAll/PythonQt_QtAll.cpp inside gepetto-viewer instead. Then, it is only a matter of CMake.

This is not the official PythonQt repository, so this PR https://github.com/commontk/PythonQt/pull/69 can't update the official pythonqt repository.

I think the official one is https://github.com/MeVisLab/pythonqt and it still has no CMake packaging (but we don't need it).

What should I try to see if anything works as you expect ? Just compile these 2 plugins ? Or have I to use them in some way ?

jmirabel commented 4 years ago

You are right, we don't need it to use CMake.

If you manage to compile gepetto-gui, then, in the Python console, check that PythonQt.QtCore and PythonQt.QtGui exists (they are already loaded python modules. If you have that, then, almost all the job is done.

Of course, this could be automated, but I am not sure it is worth it.
