Adding icon resource to Qt rc file.

[keithsloan52]

I am trying to add an icon to the OpenSCAD workbench.
I have added the icon svg fle reference to the QRC file and tried to rebuiid the runtime rc file with pyside-rcc -o ../OpenSCAD_rc.py OpenSCAD.qrc

But when I refer to the workbench in FreeCAD I get the following error

Code: Select all

PySide2.QtCore.qRegisterResourceData' called with wrong argument types:
  PySide2.QtCore.qRegisterResourceData(int, str, str, str)
Supported signatures:
  PySide2.QtCore.qRegisterResourceData(int, bytes, bytes, bytes)

I am guessing that this maybe due to python3 changes.

One web reference says to Solved this issue by adding PyQt5 module to the exclude list in the spec file but I am not sure how I do that

Do not compile the resource file yourself. You need to add the icon to the .qrc file, and then compile the entire FreeCAD source code or just the OpenSCAD module. In the OpenSCAD CMakeFile there is this line

Code: Select all

IF (BUILD_GUI)
    PYSIDE_WRAP_RC(OpenSCAD_QRC_SRCS Resources/OpenSCAD.qrc)
ENDIF (BUILD_GUI)

This will compile the new OpenSCAD_rc.py properly. How exactly does it do it? Who knows, but it does.

Maybe manually you need to use pyside2-rcc or something like that. Whenever it has a 2 it refers to Python 3 and Qt5, otherwise it's Python 2 and Qt4.

Don't want to build FreeCAD from source. Have built Qt Resource files by hand in the past. Think something changed due toPython3

Tried pip install PySide2
then pyside2-rcc -o ../OpenSCAD_rc.py OpenSCAD.qrc

But still get same error message

Also tried

sudo apt install pyqt5-dev-tools
pyrcc5 -o ../OpenSCAD_rc.py OpenSCAD.qrc

But still get error
