Build Tools - Support Maya 2025

[david-cattermole]

Feature

mmSolver should build and run on Maya 2025, which will use the VFX Platform CY 2024 (https://vfxplatform.com/).

VFX Platform CY 2024 uses:

• GCC 11.2.1
• Visual Studio 2022 v17.4 or later
• Python 3.11.x
• Qt 6.5.x
• Qt for Python (PySide) 6.5.x
• C++17 Standard

mmSolver currently works with PySide 1 and 2, but PySide6 is a newcomer and the vendored Qt.py may need to be updated or dropped.

Users building in such an environment have reported an error "no Qt bindings were found error"

Expected behavior:
mmSolver builds and runs on Maya 2025.

Actual behavior:
mmSolver fails to run on Maya 2025 (but does seem to build - with some hacking)

Software Versions

• mmSolver version: v0.4.9 / v0.5.0-beta3
• Operating System (OS): Windows and Linux

Qt.py has an issue for Qt6 support here; mottosso/Qt.py#394

Once the Qt.py has been resolved this issue can be continued.
