[PyQt] pyqtdeployed app crashes on launch

[Dave Gradwell]

Hi Lloyd, thanks for the message.

I am still just using the example in /examples/mainwindows/application/application.py
and the line of code reads
import application_rc
... and application_rc.py exists as a sibling of application.py.

For what it's worth, the application runs as expected when interpreted with python3.4 from the command line (so the code intrinsically works).

I regenerated the file using pyrcc5 (just to be sure) - but to no avail.
(Yep, the file has content - and it works when application.py is run from a normal Python interpreter).

I wasn't, but I am now.  The output in pyqtdeploy's 'build' tab is:
......
Freezing /Users/admin/Desktop/app-4/application_rc.py
Running '/Users/admin/Desktop/building/built/bin/python3.4m /var/folders/wq/k3bzbz7d4m15ddsw3psx003c0000gn/T/freeze.py --as-data /Users/admin/Desktop/app-4/build/resources/app-4/application_rc.pyf /Users/admin/Desktop/app-4/application_rc.py'
........


There is a section in the Makefile that an expert might understand.  It is the only mention of application_rc.
........
compiler_rcc_make_all: qrc_pyqtdeploy.cpp qrc_stdlib.cpp qrc_site-packages.cpp
compiler_rcc_clean:
    -$(DEL_FILE) qrc_pyqtdeploy.cpp qrc_stdlib.cpp qrc_site-packages.cpp
qrc_pyqtdeploy.cpp: resources/pyqtdeploy.qrc \
        resources/app-4/application_rc.pyf         
    /Users/admin/Qt5.3.1/5.3/clang_64/bin/rcc -name pyqtdeploy resources/pyqtdeploy.qrc -o qrc_pyqtdeploy.cpp

qrc_stdlib.cpp: resources/stdlib.qrc \
.......


Is it just me that thinks such a phenomenal framework deserves a decent building tool.
I would love to get this application finished and buy a license.

Best,

Dave.

 Thats curious, I don't have an
 answer, just brainstorming wild ideas here...
 
 How exactly are you importing application_rc?  In my
 app, I use a full 
 path 'import app.app_rc'.  Maybe a relative import
 doesn't work?
 
 Of course you have generated application_rc using pyrcc5 and
 the file is 
 not empty?
 
 You're building verbose?  Did you look at the makefile
 and the log of 
 the compile?  Does the frozen file exist in the tmp
 directory?
