Hm, looks like ninja-ide might still be trying to use Python 2. Should probably get moved over.

Need to guard it off to needing Leopard and newer too (MacFSEvents binds to API introduced in 10.5).

iBook is currently working away building QT4 on Leopard. 😀

@smnbldwn are you trying this on Tiger?

I am running Leopard 10.5.8

I am running Leopard 10.5.8

As Misty highlighted, looks like you've installed the module with pip for Python 3, but the build is trying to use Python 2.

If you make the following change to /usr/local/Library/Formula/ninja-ide.rb, does the build progress for you?

Thank you, the build now progresses further until it stops with these messages...

Looks like PyQt4 doesn't want to install...

I've been tinkering with this today, but haven't got it working yet.
After the lengthy QT4 build on Leopard, I upgraded the formula for sip & PyQt4 to their latest versions and, set them to just use python3, this got ninja-ide to build but it still wouldn't run.
Once I have it running, I need to tidy up my changes to sip, pyqt, ninja-ide so they land here.
Give me a few days, I'll try over the weekend if I don't get it working before.

[smnbldwn]

Awesome! Thanks for trying...

Still no luck yet. I've raised draft pull requests for updates to pyqt & sip but still no joy. Everything builds and installs, but pyqt complains about sip. See pull requests #1280 & #1281 if you want to try.
