Build is fixed now, thanks omgold!

I can't build this with Python 3.8, anyone knows how?

Solved it by creating the patch cc.patch mentioned by omgold. Puting it in the src folder and adding these 2 lines in the prepare function of the PKGBUILD:

patch -i cc.patch PyQt4_gpl_x11-${pkgver}/configure-ng.py
patch -i cc.patch PyQt4_gpl_x11-${pkgver}-py2/configure-ng.py

Restart the compilation.

Got the same problem as JohnRobson:

/usr/bin/sip -w -n PyQt4.sip -f -n PyQt4.sip -t WS_X11 -t Qt_4_8_7 -B Qt_5_0_0 -o -P -a QtCore.api -y QtCore.pyi -g -c /home/omgold/tmp/pyqt4/src/PyQt4_gpl_x11-4.12.3/QtCore -I sip -I /home/omgold/tmp/pyqt4/src/PyQt4_gpl_x11-4.12.3/sip /home/omgold/tmp/pyqt4/src/PyQt4_gpl_x11-4.12.3/sip/QtCore/QtCoremod.sip
sip: Deprecation warning: the -B flag is deprecated
Error: Unable to create the C++ code.

The issue is the '-f' flag in combination with the deprecation warning (which -f turns into an error). Unfortunately it is hardcoded in the configure script. Patching it like this, helps for me:

The interpreter used by pyuic4 is /usr/bin/python.

Actually, since the day before yesterday (14th of October 2019) the "sip"-Package got flagged outdated. Does it make sense to install the 4.19.16-2 version of "sip" or have we to accept that this isn't working now. What do you think?

@esdrasedu: Thanks, it helped me too. For noobs like me, to get the package you can download it from here: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/s/sip/ I followed the advice and tried it with 4.19.16-1 (couldn't find the 2). sip-4.19.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz Downgraded with sudo pacman -U ~/Downloads/sip-4.19.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz. Might work with sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/s/sip/sip-4.19.16-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz too but haven't tried.

esdrasedu thank you very much,very useful!

esdrasedu commented on 2019-10-03 11:35 (UTC)

@zorki, @Attius_Sullivan and @0003c9fe I have same issue. It in my case is becase sip version 4.19.19-1 isn't compatible with python2-pyqt4 version 4.12.3-3! I installed sip version 4.19.16-2 and seems working well
