[Qgis-developer] Lib_Refactoring-branch merged (problem with bulding python support)

[Philipp Auersperg]

Hi Martin!

Thanks alot for this effort. Building with cmake (2.4.3) works fine  
under Ubuntu Edgy
with apt-installed python, qt4 etc...

But when I apt-install python-dev (2.4.3) python is included in the  
build process, but leads
to an error. the cmake command itself passes fine, but the make  
process fails with the following output:

....[ 65%] Generating qgis_se.qm
Updating '/home/phil/dev/qgis1/qgis/build/i18n/qgis_se.qm'...
     Generated 1004 translations (635 finished and 369 unfinished)

core.sbf'
make[2]: *** [../python/run_sip] Error 1
make[1]: *** [python/CMakeFiles/python.dir/all] Error 2

Can perhaps somebody give me a hint?

kind regards
