It's not so much a problem of Qt supporting Snow (yes, the mkspec
problem, but it seems to be minor), but supporting OSX 64bit, which
covers both Leopard AND Snow. The standard Carbon-based Mac Qt will
never be 64bit. Qt Cocoa is 64bit (I have yet to try it out).
And there is now the extra 64bit-ness of Python in Snow now, which
causes trouble with Python-based software. People WILL update to
Snow
and WILL (and have already) have problems compiling PyQt.
Since Qt Cocoa may take a while to be fully functional and in common
use, PtQt at least needs some way to deal with a 64bit Python
executable (use the arch command where python/pythonw executed when
built for Qt carbon).
Note: I just figured out the problem with the arch command. It's not
broken. There are 2 copies of the python and pythonw executables:
in /
usr/bin and in the Python framework. The /usr/bin exe's are not
symlinks to the framework, and have different file sizes. For some
reason the /usr/bin exe's don't work with arch, but the framework
exe's do. /usr/bin/python2.6 and /usr/bin/pythonw2.6 ARE symlinks to
the framework.
I've added a --arch option to SIP's configure.py. It may be
specified any
number of times. PyQt's configure.py will also use the information.
I've added a --use-arch option to PyQt's configure.py to tell it to
use
arch in the pyuic4 wrapper script. If there is a problem with
/usr/bin/python then you should run configure.py using /usr/bin/
python2.6
The changes are in the current snapshots. Let me know if more needs
to be
done.
Thanks. I'll try it out sometime in the next week (busy packaging up
Snow releases), and I'll let you know how it works.
