– Make sure you don’t have cygwin or C:devkitPromsysbin in your path,
\nor else your make files can end up trying to run the Makefile using ‘sh’ and all
\nthe makefile we’re about to use are meant to run from the windows command line. <\/p>\n
If for some odd reason you type ‘sh’ on your windows command line and you see something like:<\/p>\n
sh-2.04$<\/p>\n
You’re likely to find this later on:<\/p>\n
\/bin\/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file<\/p>\n
– Install Qt open source, with the exe installer, this will attempt to install
\n ming if you don’t have it installed, say yes, mingw rocks.<\/p>\n
– Make sure you have the following Windows environment variables set:<\/p>\n
QTDIR = c:Qt4.2.2
\n QTMAKESPEC = win32-g++<\/p>\n
– Make sure you have Python2.5, Qt bin and Mingw bin folders on your path<\/p>\n
PATH = %PATH%;c:Mingwbin;c:Mingwlibexecgccmingw323.4.2;c:python25bin;c:Qt4.2.2bin<\/p>\n
– Get pexports just in case the Qt doesn’t have libQtCore4.a on its lib\/
\n folder.<\/p>\n
You can download pexports at:
\n http:\/\/www.emmestech.com\/software\/cygwin\/pexports-043\/download_pexports.html<\/p>\n
If you don’t have that libQtCore4.a you won’t be able to build PyQt.<\/p>\n
So you’ll need to do this, go to your Qt bin folder, say:
\n c:Qt4.2.2bin<\/p>\n
And run this:<\/p>\n
pexports QtCore4.dll > Qt4Core4.def
\n dlltool -dllname QtCore4.dll –def QtCore4.def –output-lib libQtCore4.a<\/p>\n
Move the resulting file, libQtCore4.a, to c:Qt4.2.2lib<\/p>\n
COMPILING SIP:
\n– PyQt needs “sip” to be able to bind the Qt libraries, sip will generate the necessary C++ code.
\nTo install sip, get its source code, extract it to a folder say:<\/p>\n
c:sip-4.5.2<\/p>\n
Once inside run it’s configure.py like this:<\/p>\n
python configure.py -p win32-g++<\/p>\n
That will create the Makefiles, then you will make it using<\/p>\n
mingw32-make<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
mingw32-make install<\/p>\n
Now, I’m not sure what’s the environment variable of Mingw library path,
\nand I was having errors from the compilation of PyQt, telling me it couldn’t
\nfind the sip libraries, so this is what I did:<\/p>\n
– Copy all the .o files from c:sip-4.5.2siplib to c:mingwlib
\n – Copy all the .h files from c:sip-4.5.2siplib to c:mingwincludes<\/p>\n
– Now it’s finally time to compile PyQt.
\nUncompress the PyQt zip with the source (not the binary, if not we wouldn’t be doing this),
\ndo it at the root of your hardrive (C:), you’ll end up with a folder named similar to this:<\/p>\n
c:PyQt-win-gpl-4.1.1<\/p>\n
Go in there and do this:
\n python configure.py
\n mingw32-make (this will take a long time, it will wrap every Qt C++ library on a new .cpp file which will be then compiled to exist as a python binding)
\n mingw32-make install<\/p>\n
