==== Requirements ====                                                             
== Official documentation ==
* [https://developer.apple.com/xcode/ Xcode] 8.2 (macOS 10.11), 8.3.3 (macOS 10.12) or 9 (macOS 10.13)
 
* Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/ ('''Python 3.6''' or '''Python 2.7''')
Refer to the [https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/gettingstarted-macOS.html official docs] to get started on macOS.
* [http://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/qt-unified-linux-x64-online.run Qt 5.6+]
* [http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/ CLANG 3.9] (for 5.9+ branches)             
* CMake from https://cmake.org/download/ ('''>= 3.1''')
* Git ('''>=2''')                                                                                     
* virtualenv (optional but recommended)                                             
* Python sphinx package for documentation (optional, pip install sphinx)
* '''No''' OpenSSL is required because Qt uses [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/secure_transport Secure Transport (Apple)] instead.


=== Building from sources ===
==== Setting up CLANG ====
* Download [http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/ libclang], e.g.
wget http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/libclang/libclang-release_39-mac.7z
* Extract the files, e.g.
7z x libclang-release_39-mac.7z                           
* Export the installation path to the path you choosed to place the files
export CLANG_INSTALL_DIR=$PWD/libclang                                                                                                                                 
==== Getting PySide2 ====                                                 
* Clonning the official repository
git clone --recursive https://codereview.qt-project.org/pyside/pyside-setup       
* Checking out the version that we want to build, e.g. 5.9 (Keep in mind you need to use the same version as your Qt installation)
cd pyside-setup && git checkout 5.9                                                               
==== Building PySide2 ====                                               
* Check your Qt installation path, to specifically use that version of ''qmake'' to build PySide2:
which qmake
* Build can take a few minutes, so it is recommended to use more than one CPU core (e.g. 8). Remember to replace the paths to your current ''qmake'' path:
python setup.py build --qmake=/path/to/qmake --build-tests --ignore-git --jobs=8                                                                         
==== Installing PySide2 ====                                     
* To install on the current directory, just run:
python setup.py install --qmake=/path/to/qmake  --build-tests --ignore-git --jobs=8                                                                                 
==== Test installation ====                                                     
* You can execute one of the examples to verify the process is properly working.
* Remember to properly set the environment variables for Qt and PySide2.

Official documentation

Refer to the official docs to get started on macOS.

Development

Development happens in the 5.15 and dev branches of the pyside-setup repository. The top level repository has the following submodules:

  • sources/pyside2-tools: pyside2-lupdate

Contributions follow the standard process.

It is helpful to have debug binaries and/or symbols for Python available. On macOS you will need to build the Python interpreter with debug symbols by hand. It is also recommended to use a Virtual Environment for testing to be able to always start from a clean base and avoid issues with write permissions in installations. On macOS, the command 

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3-dbg testenv

creates a Virtual Environment named testenv for debugging purposes. Before building the first time, the module Sphinx should be installed into the virtual environment: 

pip install sphinx
