[PyQt] PyQt5 and Android

[Jakob Simon-Gaarde]

Hi.

I am can see in the ducumentation for PyQt5 that mobile devices using
Android or iOS operating systems are supported. I wanted to give this a
try, but I am stuck cause I can't find a guide on how to get started.

I am using Kubuntu (latest version as I write: 15.10)
Here is what I have done until now:

Preparations:
------------
* Installed Qt 5.5.1 (with Android libraries)
* Installed Android SDK and NDK
* Installed python-dev and python3-dev
* Downloaded, unpacked, build and installed sip-4.17.tar.gz for both
python2.7 and python3.4
* Downloaded and unpacked PyQt-gpl-5.5.1.tar.gz

Host system build:
-----------------
First I tried to build the host system version of PyQt5:

python configure.py -q <PATH_TO_GCC_QMAKE>

This worked fine.

Android build:
-------------
ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=<MY_NDK_INSTALLATION> python configure.py -q
<PATH_TO_ANDROID_QMAKE>

Querying qmake about your Qt installation...
Determining the details of your Qt installation...

-llog -lz -lm -ldl -lc -lgcc
Error: Failed to determine the detail of your Qt installation. Try again
using
the --verbose flag to see more detail about the problem.

So this is where I am stuck...

What am I doing wrong?

It would be really nice if someone could write a guide on how to get
started with PyQt5 on Android and iOS.
