PyBOMBS does not work on Windows #551

Ryandry1st commented 5 years ago

I am attempting to run the command in the quickstart/tutorial. pybombs prefix init <prefix> -R gnuradio-default However I get the error message:

[ERROR] Package has no install method: qt5

This is for windows 10 and python 3.7

Congrats, @Ryandry1st, you're the first to try this on Windows and report back here! The problem is that on Windows, we only have pip as a candidate for installing dependencies. To be honest, I have no idea how much work is required to make this work on Windows. Dependency management on Windows is notoriously difficult. I'm not even sure how you install Qt5 on Windows even without PyBOMBS, maybe we can start tying in chocolatey or something like that?

I think our best bet for Windows is to improve the situation with binaries and then focus on OOTs.
