I've just upgraded PyQt & Qt versions and took the opportunity to document the process. While there's no substitute for the detailed build and installation instructions that come with each package in their README files, I find that a simple list is a handy companion. To that end, and to provide a high-level overview for the next time I upgrade, I wrote the following. I share it with the list in the hopes that someone else might find it useful also.
Scott The following overview was written for: PyQt 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (commercial) Qt 4.4.2-snapshot-20080711 to 4.4.2 Mac OSX 10.5.5 MacBook Pro (Intel) #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # PyQt & Qt Build and Install Overview #------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - download & install latest Qt prebuilt binaries qt-mac-commercial-*.dmg - download latest Qt src (for PyQt to compile against) qt-mac-commercial-src*.tar.gz - build & install Qt src ./configure (approx. 10 min.'s) make (approx. 1.5 hrs) - download PyQt components: http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/ - download & install latest sip python configure.py make sudo make install - copy PyQt commercial license to PyQt's sip dir eg: /opt/local/src/PyQt-mac-commercial-4.4.3/sip/pyqt-commercial.sip - download latest PyQt - ensure that Qt's bin dir is updated in PATH (hence the qt src install) eg: /opt/local/src/qt-mac-commercial-src-4.4.2/bin - build & install PyQt python configure.py make (approx. 10 min.'s) sudo make install _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
