pyrcc5 doesn't exist #49

Closed rchastain closed 2 years ago

rchastain commented 2 years ago

Hello! I have just tried to install Olive GUI (on Linux Mageia), following the steps indicated in README.md. I get an error saying that pyrcc5 doesn't exist. What did I do wrong?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Attached a file where you can see which commands I typed and the resulting output.

commands.log

In your log:

pip3 install PyQt5
Requirement already satisfied: PyQt5 in /usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages (5.15.2)

pyrcc5 normally should come with the PyQt5. Perhaps you can try upgrading PyQt5 (pip3 install PyQt5 --upgrade) or try to install it from the distro (the package name should be something like python3-pyqt5-dev, sorry I'm not familiar with Mageia).

Also it's worth checking if pyrcc5 was actually installed, but you can't run it for some reason (paths? permissions?). It could be as easy as putting in the correct path in the Makefile.

Please let me know if anything worked.

Looking some more at your log I've noticed this:

 WARNING: The script markdown_py is installed in '/usr/local/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

Could this be the reason the pyrcc5 is not found too? /usr/local/bin is not in the PATH, but pyrcc5 was installed to /usr/local/bin/pyrcc5? If so you simply either add it to the PATH or specify the full path in the Olive's Makefile.

Thank you for your answer. With your indications, I could solve the problem. I installed python3-qt5 and python3-qt5-devel, using the package manager. If I trust the package manager, they were not installed. After that I could start Olive successfully. Regards. Roland
