无法在Mac OS X（El Capitan）上构建PySide

Question

I am trying build PySide on a Mac running El Capitan (10.11.5).

This is the command I am using:

python setup.py bdist_wheel --cmake=/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake

However, every time I run this, I get the following error messages:

error: Error compiling pyside

What is especially maddening is that I have edited the phonon_audiooutputdevicemodelwrapper files, but the edits do not seem to stick. Running the setup.py script seems to undo my changes.

I do not need the Phonon module. However, I do not see a way to skip this module with the PySide build. I can skip this with Qt, but I would prefer to not have to rebuild that again.

ADDITION 8/10/16

Strange, I rebuilt Qt without Phonon:

$ ./configure –no-phonon –no-phonon-backend

I still have that same issue.

Then I removed the phonon directory (PySide-1.2.4/pyside_build/py2.7-qt4.8.6-64bit-release/pyside/PySide/phonon) and got a different error message.

Answer 1

Here is how I built PySide without Phonon:

Download the PySide source to a temp direct and uncompress the archive:

$ pwd
/Users/spearsc/Documents/pyside_tmp
$ tar –xvzf  dist\PySide-1.2.4.tar

Now you need to edit PySide-1.2.4/sources/pyside/CMakeLists.txt. Find this line (line 33 I believe):

HAS_QT_MODULE(QT_PHONON_FOUND phonon)

Just comment out that line:

# HAS_QT_MODULE(QT_PHONON_FOUND phonon)

Then run the setup.py script:

python setup.py bdist_wheel --cmake=/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake
