QFileIconProvider undefined in qdirmodel.sip

[CrayzeeWulf]

Binary package hint: python-qt4

The file with problem is /usr/share/sip/PyQt4/QtGui/qdirmodel.sip. The method setIconProvider of class QDirModel has a parameter of type "QFileIconProvider *". However, QFileIconProvider is not declared before SIP encounters this method. The result is that SIP chokes with the following error message:

sip: QFileIconProvider is undefined

A quick and easy way to reproduce this problem is to place the following two lines in a file named "bug-test.sip":

%Module tmp
%Import QtGui/QtGuimod.sip

Then run the following command:

sip -t WS_X11 -t Qt_4_7_0 -I /usr/share/sip/PyQt4 -I /usr/share/sip/PyQt4/QtGui bug-test.sip

This produces the following output:

sip: QFileIconProvider is undefined

The fix is to put the following statement at line#31 in the file /usr/share/sip/PyQt4/QtGui/qdirmodel.sip:

class QFileIconProvider ;

Thanks.

I'm also seeing this bug.

Is the above fix really correct?

I came upon this bug trying to build VTK from their git repository. Now that I have applied the fix from above, at least vtk compiles, but on 'import vtk' I get a segfault in sip.so...
