[Qgis-developer] Getting Sextante from GitHub core to work with QGIS 1.8.0

[Alexander Bruy]

As Victor said, you only need to compile resource file and some dialogs
(currently only About dialog). Just run commands

pyrcc4 -o /path/to/sextante/resources_rc.py /path/to/sextante/resources.qrc
pyuic4 -o /path/to/sextante/about/ui_aboutdialogbase.py
/path/to/sextante/about/aboutdialogbase.ui

You can create custom makefile that will do this for you.

But note that I plan to move all SEXTANTE dialogs to .ui files because
this simlifies maintenance and makes code cleaner. So maybe it is
better to build full QGIS. Now python plugins correctly loaded from
build dir. So you can symlink SEXTANTE from output directory to your
main QGIS plugin dir.
