QTermWidget PyQt6 bindings fail with error - qtermwidget.sip:14:10: fatal error: qtermwidget.h: No such file or directory

[nado218]

Hi,
I'm new to pyQT and I'm trying to build python bindings for QTermWidget.
I could compile and install qtermwidget library but when I try to create a python wheel using sip-wheel --verbose, i get the below error.
What I'm I missing here.
My QTermWidget is installed in installed to the default - /usr/local/

I see the same error with QT5 as well. I'm sure i'm missing something here.

Below is the log.

Is it possible to install QTermWidget using apt-install on Ubuntu linux ?
can qtermwidget be used with python on Ubuntu Linux. If yes, can you please suggest how to overcome this error during sip-wheel ?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi
Can anyone please suggest how to proceed.

I guess this may be about a simple mistake in compilation. But since I have no knowledge of this part of the code, I ask @yan12125.

@yan12125, could you please take a quick look?

[yan12125]

Most likely the issue is that somehow -I/usr/local/include/qtermwidget6/ is specified in CXXFLAGS but not used by sip-wheel. No idea why that happens, though.

Has anyone use python qtermwidget on linux

[yan12125]

I did basic testing of python qtermwidget from time to time on Arch Linux. @tsimonq2 may know more about Ubuntu.

If you replace <qtermwidget.h> by <qtermwidget6/qtermwidget.h> in the .sip file it works.

[tsujan]

Thanks!

@yan12125, should we replace <qtermwidget.h> with <qtermwidget6/qtermwidget.h>, as suggested by @cemelo?
