I've moved the pyqt4 bindings into bindings/python/pyqt4 and I have started in on trying to figure out how to get them built. I was able to create the required config.py.in using the cmake file() command. Now I'm struggling to get the "python config.py" command to happen. Is add_custom_command() the right way to do this? Do I understand correctly that source_dir/bindings/python/pyqt4/CMakeLists.txt is used by cmake to create the Makefile in binary_dir/bindings/python/pyqt4? thanks, -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
