Arch Linux

I tried to generate PyQt from upstream. QtHelp is not generated (the check phase seems to decide not to do it). But for eric4 my machine is end user oriented
This are the qt packages i've installed
pacman -Q|grep qt
pyqt 4.8.6-2
python2-pyqt 4.8.6-2
qt 4.8.0-2
qtwebkit 2.2.0-3
What is missing ?

eric5 also does not run with pyqt 4.8.6-2. The issue is likely in the original Riverbank package: QtHelp files were not generated when I tried installing directly off Riverbank's release.

Сonfirm. Error log:

@Werner
you're not missing anything. The QtHelp module isn't built in our pyqt because their check fails for some reason. I'm on it.

this is the output of pyqt build:

Checking to see if the QtHelp module should be built...

This patch will fix the QtHelp build. I'll push it ASAP.

OK. But eric5 not run without PyQt.QtHelp

If you rebuild pyqt with that patch you will get the QtHelp module.

Thanks.
But I have a problem.
At http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/ is missing PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.6.tar.gz, there are PyQt-x11-gpl-4.9.tar.gz only.

Need update PyQt up to 4.9

wait for pyqt-4.9-2 then. I'm already building it.
