Generate moc_*cpp after sip-module --no-compile

[Patrick Stinson]

Hi there,


I am trying to figure out the intended way to generate the moc_*.cpp sources for my app’s custom PyQt/sip extension before running pyqtdeploy-build. This is for an automated build pipeline on GitHub.

"sip-module —no-compile” will generate the extension's non-moc .cpp and .h files but it doesn’t generate the moc_*.cpp. I have all this working by just running “sip-module” without “—no-compile,” but that unnecessarily builds the extension which adds extra redundant run time. All I want to do is generate the sources so they can be compiled in the app’s actual compilation phase.

What is the intended way to do this? Is it to manually run the moc exe to generate the sources?

Cheers,
