The MPL Qt backend requires PyQt (or, better, Qt4 and PyQt4). PyQt does compile against the Qt Library, and also takes quite a while to complete. PyQt does not use setuptools, and I am not sure how to make a generally usable binary distribution from it.
I would say that installation is quite easy (although time consuming) -- perhaps just a good set of directions on the MPL site? -Rob On Feb 7, 2007, at 10:01 AM, Christopher Barker wrote: > Thanks for doing this Rob, its nice to get as much support on OS-X as > possible. > > Does the QT back-end need to be compiled against QT? or is it > python-only? > >> QT4 takes *forever* to compile, but it seems to compile easier now >> than previous versions that needed a small library hack.
