Hi, I have been trying to install this for the past few days and have been going crazy. Here is my progress so far.

Environment

Qt Installation

Qt was installed using chocolatey
choco install qt5-default

SIP Installation

sip was installed by compiling sip-4.19.25.zip from the RiverBank site.

cd sip-4.19.25
python configure.py
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
nmake
nmake install

pkg-config Installation

pkg-config was installed using chocolatey
choco install pkgconfiglite

Current package versions

qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.15.2 in C:/Qt/5.15.2/mingw81_64/lib

sip -V
4.19.25

pkg-config --version
0.28

sip-build -V
6.6.1

python -V
Python 3.10.2

Python libraries

Here are the installed python libraries (of course I am not listing all of them, just the relevant ones)

pip==22.1.2
PyQt-builder==1.13.0
PyQt5==5.15.6
PyQt5-Qt5==5.15.2
PyQt5-sip==12.10.1
setuptools==62.4.0
sip==6.6.1
wheel==0.37.1

Qt5 Poppler

The Qt5 poppler binaries for windows were downloaded from SourceForge poppler-qt5 for mingw32 and extracting the content to C:/ and creating a new file in C:/poppler called poppler-qt5.pc with the following contents. C:/poppler was then added to my environment PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable.

prefix=C:/poppler
libdir=C:/poppler/lib
includedir=C:/poppler/include

Name: poppler-qt5
Description: PDF rendering library
Version: 0.32.0

Libs: -L${libdir} -llibpoppler-qt5
Cflags: -I${includedir}/poppler/qt5 -I${includedir}/poppler

Errors

I cloned the repo to my computer using git and opened a terminal in that directory.

setup.py build/build_ext

I tried hard with this method, but I deleted all my progress after losing hope. Basically the issue was the program not being able to find a bunch of files such as QtCore/QtCoremod.sip etc, and source files which I downloaded from the net. I do not want to do this all again unless I have to. The current output is as follows.

setup.py build

@FieryRMS Hi, sorry that you did not receive a reply until now (NB I was not involved in this project in 2022). You seem to have been using a sip version incompatible with the one that was used to build PyQt5. I will close this issue, as it is not directly a problem with this project, but feel free to ask for more help (and see #42 about ongoing efforts to prevent users from having to build python-poppler-qt5 from source).
