[PyKDE] what about size_t & friends? and PyQT on HPUX

[Gerard Vermeulen]

I'll address the size_t issue first:

The problem is that the size and type of size_t & friends are compiler
dependent. I will try to solve this for PyQwt, but in an ideal world sip
would know about size_t & friends.

A somewhat related problem is PyQt's "typedef unsigned QRgb;"
Functions returning a QRgb may return a negative Python integer which
is unusable for PyQt functions taking a QRgb value.

Example: I have translated the following C++
        const QPixmap pm = QPixmap::grabWidget(this);
        const QRgb rgb = pm.convertToImage().pixel(e->x(), e->y());
        emit selected(QColor(rgb));
as:
            pm = QPixmap.grabWidget(self)
            color = QColor()
            color.setRgb(pm.convertToImage().pixel(event.x(), event.y()))
            self.emit(PYSIGNAL("colorSelected"), (color,))

I grepped the *.conf files for the flags and libs you mention, but found nothing.
Can you tell me which conf file applies to your system?

Noted.

The Distutils allow you to pass at least the libraries on the command line:
python setup.py build_ext --force --libraries="Csup_v2 std_v2"

I have to think about the compiler flag.
