<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've done this sort of thing for pyqt and pykde. To
be honest, i don't like the autoconf/libtool stuff altogether (works very badly
for me, in our quite non-standard environment with multiple python/qt/kde/gcc
versions, especially the runtime library paths never work as-is on
solaris).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, it's nothing more than a ~100-liner setup
script for distutils (which comes packaged with python2.1, available for 1.5.2
also), which should work on any platform, and can do stuff like compiling,
directly build rpm-packages (and sun solaris packages, with my own extensions),
use a configuration file (where you can enter the paths to your qt/kde
installation). With this thing, building is really easy, also with any version
of python and qt. Should even work on Win32 (untested). It does also rebuild the
sources (omitting the Makefiles, however ...).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone interested ? Phil ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW i have some patches to the qt1.44/kde1.1.2 part
(menus stopped working due to a bug in QMenuData.insertItem, addition of
kkeydialog and a homebrew method to get hold of the QWidgetStack of a
QTabDialog, to be able to remove/re-insert pages to it).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If interested, i could send this
stuff.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In some weeks, i'll publish a
'mega-widget'/utilities toolkit for PyQt/PyKDE, which allows building large
PyKDE applications much easier and in a uniform manner. I've built a XMLSchema
editor and a code-generating data flow graph application builder with it - this
would have taken years to program with C++ , it took me only weeks! These will
also be ported to PyKDE2 (once it's finished, which i would like to help out
with).</FONT></DIV>
