[PyQt] Howto: build PyQt against Qt5 on Windows

[Mathias.Born at gmx.de]

Hi,

I'm so impressed by QML scene graph performance, I want it now. So this is
what I had to do to make PyQt build on Windows against Qt5, without webkit.
(sip-4.14.3-snapshot-dc06058c99dd and PyQt-win-gpl-snapshot-4.10-f0118624625e)

Attached is a new configure.py for PyQt and and new siputils.py for sip
(sorry, diff yourself).

Necessary changes to files:


qnetworkreply.sip:147

%If (PyQt_OpenSSL)
%If (Qt_5_0_0 -)
    virtual void sslConfigurationImplementation(QSslConfiguration &) const;
%End
%If (Qt_5_0_0 -)
    virtual void setSslConfigurationImplementation(const QSslConfiguration &);
%End
%If (Qt_5_0_0 -)
    virtual void ignoreSslErrorsImplementation(const QList<QSslError> &);
%End
%End

qsslcertificateextension.sip:
Guard everything with
%If (PyQt_OpenSSL)
%End


qcoreapplication.sip:286

%If (- Qt_4_8_4)
    virtual bool winEventFilter(MSG *message, long *result);
%End

Note: Implement QCoreApplication::installNativeEventFilter and QCoreApplication::removeNativeEventFilter instead.


qabstracteventdispatcher.sip:62

%If (WS_WIN)
        virtual bool registerEventNotifier(QWinEventNotifier * notifier) = 0;
        virtual void unregisterEventNotifier(QWinEventNotifier * notifier) = 0;
%End


QtCoremod.sip:136

%Include qwineventnotifier.sip


qwidget.sip:368

%If (- Qt_4_8_4)
    virtual bool winEvent(MSG *message, long *result);
%End

409:
%If (- Qt_4_8_4)
    WId winId() const;
%End

439:
%If (Qt_4_4_0 - Qt_4_8_4)
    WId effectiveWinId() const;
%End

(The winId-methods still exist, but "WId" is an integral type in Qt5.)



qwizard.sip:145

%If (- Qt_4_8_4)
    bool winEvent(MSG *message, long *result);
%End


qsizegrip.sip:52

%If (- Qt_4_8_4)
    bool winEvent(MSG *m, long *result);
%End




qprinter.sip:178

%If (!WS_WIN)
    QString printerSelectionOption() const;
    void setPrinterSelectionOption(const QString &);
%End


qpixmap.sip:157

%If (- Qt_4_8_4)
%If (WS_WIN)
// Windows specific conversion functions.
enum HBitmapFormat
{
    NoAlpha,
    PremultipliedAlpha,
%If (Qt_4_5_0 -)
    Alpha,
%End
};

HBITMAP toWinHBITMAP(QPixmap::HBitmapFormat format = QPixmap::NoAlpha) const;
static QPixmap fromWinHBITMAP(HBITMAP bitmap, QPixmap::HBitmapFormat format = QPixmap::NoAlpha);

%If (Qt_4_6_0 -)
HICON toWinHICON() const;
static QPixmap fromWinHICON(HICON icon);
%End
%End
%End



In Qt5, the QtGui module depends on Qt5PrintSupportd.lib.

Add NOMINMAX to the DEFINES list of qmake.conf in the mkspecs folder corresponding to your
compiler (e.g. build\mkspecs\win32-msvc2012 for VS2012).

Remove pylupdate from the main Makefile. Needs further attention.


Phil, may this help you get things to work on Windows.

Best Regards,
Mathias Born
