Mac OS m-1 install #61

Closed triple7 closed 6 months ago

triple7 commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I've been trying to get the module installed on a Mac OS m-1. I guess a few things here.

First, python is currently miniconda for me [when running which python, the top of the list is conda].

I tried installing using pip with a non condo bistro, and it has the following issue with PyQt5: AttributeError: module 'sipbuild.api' has no attribute 'prepare_metadata_f

I tried updating pip to the latest and retried, no go. An article on the net shows us how to do this with a rosetta2 terminal session, still no go.

So I tried getting into the condo environment with: Honda activate tf (tf being my environment) and ran pip install --upgrade pip

All my condo packages got upgraded, and in there PyQt5 is available.

Finally, running pip install pymadcad after having installed all dependencies, it's stuck at: Using cached PyQt5-5.15.7.tar.gz (3.2 MB) Installing build dependencies ... done Getting requirements to build wheel ... done Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) ... -

It's been stuck there for over 10 minutes now so I expect it to be an issue.

Anyone successfully installed pyMADCAD on a Mac OS m-1?

Hello @triple7 If pip is using a .tar.gz package to install PyQt5, it means no precompiled package is available for your platform (mac os m-1 might no tbe mainstream) so pip is using the source archive PyQt5-5.15.7.tar.gz to compile PyQt5 It is them perfectly normal that the installation takes a while since Qt is big ... it can easily take 20min even on modern computers No shure why however pip get stucks particularly on step "preparing metadata (pyproject.toml)"

I don't have experience in compiling such a big library in a conda environment. I don't know if all the compilation tools and pyQt dependencies are made available by conda. You might need to install some dependencies by yourself :-/

You're likely stuck on license confirmation. Try the following command: pip install pyqt5 --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose and give it about an hour.

No news on this issue in months, I am going to assume @kzlar solution worked and then close this issue
