Before this commit, SCons could not detect Qt if Python 3 is used. After the
2to3
conversion of the two files, Qt can be detected andmtsgui
can compile. But it cannot run and shows this error:This is because
qwindows.dll
is missing. In order to runmtsgui
, I had to manully copyqwindows.dll
of Qt 5.9.1 and place it atdist/platforms/qwindwos.dll
. In order to fix this issue, more changes are probably needed to the building scripts. More comments are welcome on this issue.
