need help with the .toml file. Not able to find the Qt headers

[Suman Chatterjee]

Hi,
 I am writing a .toml file to generate the  Python bindings for a C++ library like below

# Specify the build system requirements.
[build-system]
requires = ["sip >=5.3, <7", "PyQt-builder >=1.6, <2"]
build-backend = "sipbuild.api"

# Specify the PEP 566 metadata for the project.
[tool.sip.metadata]
name = "ABC"
version = "100.10"
summary = "Python bindings for the ArcGIS Runtime library"
home-page = "https://www.xxx.com"
author = "xxx"

license = "GPL v3"
requires-dist = "PyQt5 (>=5.15)"
description-file = "README"

# Configure the building of the fib bindings.
[tool.sip.bindings.ABC]

include-dirs = ["~/ABC_SDKs/Qt100.10/sdk/include"]

# Specify a PyQt-based project.
[tool.sip]
project-factory = "pyqtbuild:PyQtProject"
# Configure the project.
[tool.sip.project]
tag-prefix = "ABC"


Now when I run sip-install. I am getting the below error


/Users/xxx/pythonBindingsEnv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PyQt5/bindings/QtQuick/qquickitem.sip:26:10: fatal error: 'qquickitem.h' file not found

#include <qquickitem.h>

         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~


So my question is Do I need to copy all the QT headers files in a folder and add that in the Include-Dirs section of the .toml file. I have the Qt installation added to my PATH like as below


export PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt/bin:$PATH


But somehow it is not able to find them. But the similiar .toml file worked when I did for the QtCharts. Seems like if I include any other folder then it does not search in other paths.


I will appreciate for any help.

Thank You,

Suman
