[Qgis-developer] Windows Build

Thu Aug 2 03:02:07 EDT 2007

Tisham,

So I was diving into the weird behavior on the python side of the win
preview build and have not come to any definite conclusions this evening.
One thing of note is that PyQt4.3 was just released on the 30th of July.  It
is the first build to officially support QT 4.3.  Since your build was on
the 28th (or before) I assume you built PyQt 4.2 with QT 4.3.  I suspect
this is why you had to hack qmake.conf and might explain our strange
behavior.

On win, I have 2 boxes.  The first has QT 4.2, PyQt 4.2 and qgis svn from
about 3 weeks ago.  It runs fine and does not exhibit any bad behavior.  The
second has QT 4.3, PyQt 4.3 and the preview build and it does exhibit the
bad behavior.

To test, I am building first on my Linux box with QT 4.3 and PyQt 4.3 and
svn qgis just to verify that the problem is or is not their.  I prefer Linux
and will start there.  This will be the first time that I have built with
4.3, so it will be an interesting test.  

Next, if the Linux build does not exhibit the behavior I will build on my
win machine after updating to the latest of all projects and see if I can
reproduce there.

My gut tells me we are seeing a side affect of having PyQt out of sync with
QT and that if we get all of our versions lined up (with the newly released
pyqt) we will be ok... but that is yet to be seen!

More to come soon...

Hi all,

I have the final windows build ready. binaries and python bindings.
As mentioned the pyqt build on windows requires a bit of hacking of  
the qmake.conf file to add an extra define which PyQt assumes is  
present but is absent in Qt4.3.

The binaries are avialable as zip here:

As well as grass and python.

The Python bindings will require an extra step of installing PyQt if  
not present. This can be quite tricky given the above patching of  
qmake needs to applied. Any suggestions are appreciated. Here is a  
summary of improvements needed in the installer, someone with  
experience in NSIS can help me out.

1) Python Install-Download Python, Locate Python location
2) Grass deps
3) Qt deps
4) Gdal Deps
5) Install location
6) Detection of old install and auto uninstall
7) Install stats with user registration
8) No redownload of sample data

Sorry I was out of action for a couple of days

Regards,

Tisham(aka what_nick)
