PyKDE4 fails to build with SIP 4.15.5 / PyQt4 4.15.5, which were released yesterday. I use PyKDE4 4.12.3.

I can confirm build fails on fedora too, see also, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6638643
(I mispasted version of PyQt4. Obviously it is 4.10.4.)
Created attachment 85608 [details] fix build when using sip-4.15.5 Patch adapted from similar changes made to phonon sip files included in PyQt-4.10.4
Created attachment 87063 [details] Fix build with pyqt 4.11 With sip 4.16 and pyqt 4.11, it fails to build with a different error: sip: GLuint already defined CMakeFiles/python_module_PyKDE4_plasma.dir/build.make:141: recipe for target 'sip/plasma/sipplasmapart0.cpp' failed make[5]: *** [sip/plasma/sipplasmapart0.cpp] Error 1 I am attaching a patch from Fedora that fixes the build.
That latest one is a sip-4.16 bug (fix to be included in the next sip release)
(In reply to comment #5) > That latest one is a sip-4.16 bug (fix to be included in the next sip > release) If it's a sip bug, would you mind to link the sip bug report/patch?
sip-4.16.1 was released today, which includes the fix
Oh sorry, I did indeed misread. that issue is indeed another pykde issue. (this latest sip/PyQt was fairly problematic, with several different issues which I successfully mixed up here, sorry)
With PyQt4-4.11.1, sip-4.16.2 and Rex's patch, build passes.
The PyKDE error was fixed in http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=pykde4.git&a=commit&h=1e9817f99b405a66199fe9f62de31d3870e3ad12
(In reply to Raphael Kubo da Costa from comment #10) > The PyKDE error was fixed in > http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=pykde4. > git&a=commit&h=1e9817f99b405a66199fe9f62de31d3870e3ad12 No. That commit fixed another problem occurring with PyQt4 >=4.11. Problem originally reported in this bug still occurs with any version of PyQt4 >=4.10.4. Fix for sip/phonon/backendcapabilities.sip is still needed. You might need to have Phonon support enabled in PyQt4 and PyKDE4 to reproduce this bug.
Sorry about the confusion. The problem with Phonon comes from http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk/hg/sip/rev/b96a5e69adb6 As it can be seen from PyQt's own Phonon bindings, the PyQt4NoQMetaObject annotation is now called PyQtNoQMetaObject. Besides sip/phonon/backendcapabilities.sip, there's also sip/solid/networking.sip that needs to be updated. We can't just do what PyQt did and rename the annotation, though, because that would break older versions of SIP. I haven't really checked if this is the case, but if we really want to maintain compatibility we'd have to check for SIP's API level.
I think that now it would be acceptable to start requiring SIP >=4.16 / PyQt4 >=4.11.

Git commit daeb714512e480d68b73121d258883da2342a26a by Raphael Kubo da Costa. Committed on 03/08/2014 at 11:24. Pushed by rkcosta into branch 'KDE/4.14'. Update the PyQt4NoQMetaObject annotation for SIP >= 4.16. SIP 4.16 has introduced a backwards-incompatible change by renaming the PyQt4NoQMetaObject annotation to PyQtNoQMetaObject. We now have to duplicate the definition of the affected classes in our SIP files so that the right version with the right annotations are chosen based on the SIP version being used.
