Arch Linux User Repository

I maintain the latest built package at:

https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.m64py/releases

This package builds now for me after https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/pyqt6/-/issues/1 has been resolved.

Yes, most likely a packaging issue in python-pyqt6. I created an issue.

By the way, you might want to remove the major Qt version from the description because it is now outdated.

For some reason /usr/bin/pyuic6 (from the extra/python-pyqt6 package) is not executable. After doing sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/pyuic6, the build works. This is probably a bug in python-pyqt6

It seems that the pyuic6 package maintainer made a mistake and the pyuic6 script doesn't have the execution flag.

You can solve it by setting the flag as follows:

sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/pyuic6

Please let me know if you continue getting errors.

The description of this package still says Qt5, whilst the dependencies are to Qt6. Additionally, I'm getting an error after updating to 0.3.0:

To fix the old setup.py, you need to patch it so the "newer" function comes from the right place.

Had issues with install not finding m64py module, so I reinstalled with yay. Running into an error that it can't find the sdl2 python module. Running pacman -Qi shows that I have sdl2 & python-pysdl2 installed.

@mxhdrm is the error still happening? I was able to install without issues after the patch
