6 years ago The Python SIP package is not enough. SIP also has a library and headers that you will need. Most notably, libArcus is looking for a CMake file that indicates where those headers and libraries are.
The only way I've ever really gotten it to work is to compile SIP from source. That is, to get SIP from here: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download
After building it and installing it, there should be a .cmake file in your install directory (I believe it's under ./share).
When attempting to run cmake on libArcus, cmake exits with the error "Could not find SIP". However, SIP is on my system and I have tried several methods of installing and checking. Here's what I've done so far (for reference, I'm running Debian Stretch):
pip3 install sipas mentioned in the SIP documentationpip installon that file. It exited with error, saying it wasn't a supported wheel on my platform, so I tried sip-4.19-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl (the other possibility from that link), and had the same issue.sip-devpackage from the Debian repositories through my package manager, which also succeeded but was not found by libarcusunzip, but the contents only contained a few text files (METADATA which recommended I use pip3 to install, and RECORD and WHEEL which had some record and configuration stuff) and an executable calledsip.so. I tried running it and got a segmentation fault, and neitherpythonnorpython3could run it. This was true in both the .whl's.I know sip is installed because I can run an
import sipfrom the python3 console, so I'm not sure why libarcus still won't find and use it. Any help here would be much appreciated!
