Hi Tara, don't know if I can make it more clear, but on Linux this command 'pyrcc4' is in you PATH when you installed PyQt. On windows, it's possible that these binaries are not in your path. With me they were found here: "C:\program files\Python25\pyrcc4.exe" after installing. So you either call it by using the full path to it, or you add the path to python binaries to your PATH environment variable (I would do that...).
The bigger picture: # QtDesigner4 will give you an '.ui' file # This .ui file is compiled using pyuic4 to a python source file containing the gui python class definition # You'll need pyrcc4 for generating a python resource file (will hold your images/icons etc) # You can then define your own class (inheriting from the gui class file above AND QDialog and add event/signal handlers to it No need to build stuff from source. Docs for PyQt4 (handy for some code examples...): http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html other resources: http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/DevelopingPluginsWithPython http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/PythonPluginCodeSnippets and qgis wiki and blog or download some plugins from: http://spatialserver.net:3001/ and look into the source code for example: http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis/plugins/imagemap_plugin_v0.2.zip this is a python plugin with gui and resources (there is also some docs in the zip). http://spatialserver.net/pyqgis/plugins/rasterinfo.zip is an ever simpler example.
