Is qmake available if you try to run it in a terminal without the full path?
If not, you might have to add it to the PATH environment variable.
How did you install Qt5? If you used Chocolatey, the path to qmake is C:\Qt\5.15.2\mingw81_64\bin.

Tbh, I have no idea. I installed PyQt5 from Pycharm(not in terminal via pip install) and I'm confused about all the Qt, PyQt5 or Qt5. I've installed PyQt5, PyQt5-Qt, PyQt5-Qt5 and PyQt5-sip, not sure which contains qmake

[fedelibre]

qmake is provided by Qt5, not by PyQt5. Well, at least in Linux.

Searching a file in the file manager should be pretty easy...

Somehow Chocolatey doesn't work for me, so I tried the Qt installer from their website and finally got qmake.exe.

However it doesn't help and I still got this same error message.

[fedelibre]

Can you paste here the content of your PATH variable? In the command prompt:

echo %PATH%

I'm now doing a test on a Windows laptop, using Git Bash as terminal.

The first step is make sure you can run qmake:

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

Then I think you have to install pkgcofig and add a path to poppler-qt5.pc to an environment variable:

choco install pkgconfiglite # on command prompt as administrator
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:"C:/......"

Now my problem is installing Poppler for Windows.
The version on Chocolatey is too old and I can't find any installer. I've seen a way to install it via Anaconda, but I don't know how Anaconda works and I didn't have time to study it.

Did you install Poppler? It should contain the poppler-qt5.pc file needed to run the build.

[fedelibre]

There are Windows binaries here:
https://github.com/oschwartz10612/poppler-windows/releases/

but they are missing the poppler-qt5.pc file. In Library/lib/pkgconfig there are only poppler.pc, poppler-cpp.pc and poppler-glib.pc. I'm looking in 21.08 binary files.

The sources do not contain that file, as I think it's generated during the build from poppler-qt5.pc.cmake.

I found a CYGWIN package but it's old and unmaintained:
https://www.cygwin.com/packages/summary/mingw64-i686-poppler-qt5.html

[fedelibre]

For the records, here's the error I currently get on Windows. As stated above, the problem is the missing poppler-qt5.pc file.

Well, I found this:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/poppler-win32/

but again, it's very old... what a mess is WIndows

[fedelibre]

I'm glad to say that I managed to install poppler and poppler-qt via conda-forge packages using a Miniconda installation.
Adding these paths (adapt to your path) allows to pass the pkgconfig check and start the build:

set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=c:\Users\test\miniconda3\pkgs\poppler-qt-22.12.0-hb9cfb58_1\Library\lib\pkgconfig;c:\Users\test\miniconda3\pkgs\poppler-22.12.0-h183ae7b_1\Library\lib\pkgconfig

Now I get a different error:

      RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.

I forgot to write that I'm doing 'pip install --user .' from the local git repository (current master).

The RecursionError occurs both using the standard python installation (version 3.11.1) in the command prompt and the Conda python installation (3.10.8) in the Anaconda prompt.

Closing, as this seems to be entirely about trouble with installing the dependencies, and we already have issue #42 to track the desire of not requiring end users to install the dependencies.
