I had the SIP package already installed and I tried pkgfile with various 
invocations, but I do not get any (!) output, even from files and packages I 
know are present. So, that seems to be the end of that possible solution.

Hi everyone,

I have a simple question regarding PyQt4 on MinGW-w64/MSYS2. I have

Maybe pyqtconfig is part of the sip package?


Hi Arjen:

Finding the software package that contains a particular file is a
fundamental skill you need to develop for each free software
distribution such as MinGW-w64/MSYS2. To
help you develop that skill, I did a google search using the terms
 and found




From that mailing list thread it appears you should be using packfile

to find uninstalled packages which contain files that you need such as
pyqtconfig.py.  Note, I did a similar search on Debian (using the
apt-file command in that case which is NOT available for
MinGW-w64/MSYS2, but I suspect packfile is roughly equivalent) and
discovered the answer depends in that case on whether you are using
python2 (working but deprecated for PLplot needs) or python3
(recommended for PLplot needs).  You have a similar Python 2 or 3
choice on MinGW-w64/MSYS2 so you should make that choice before using
packfile to find other python-related and sip packages that you need
to install.  Also, I strongly urge you to keep a complete list of the
package names you need to install both for the purpose of updating the
package list at https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/MinGW-w64-MSYS2/
and also so that your next complete install snapshot of
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 can be created with a batch command file in a
completely automatic way.


Hi Arjen:

Correction: wherever I said "packfile" above should be replaced with
"pkgfile".  (Sorry about that!) Furthermore, if you look at
 it appears that the
pkgfile functionality is now just part of the pacman package. So since
you have pacman automatically installed as part of the base packages,
then my educated guess is the "pkgfile" command should just work with
nothing additional you have to install.
