I am doing some experimentation with alpha3 Python 2.6 and building with Visual Studio 2008 C++, so I know I'm living on the edge here...
I can successfully build and install release PyQt-win-gpl-4.3.3 and everything seems to work. But now I am also trying to build release PyQt-win-gpl-4.4, but I get the following error message from the linker: link /NOLOGO /DLL /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS \"/MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type=\'win32\' name=\'Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls\' version=\'6.0.0.0\' publicKeyToken=\'6595b64144ccf1df\' language=\' *\' processorArchitecture=\'*\'\" /INCREMENTAL:NO /OUT:QtCore.pyd @C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\Temp\nm62CF.tmp LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '"/MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type=\'win32\'.obj' NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\link.EXE"' : return code '0x450' Stop. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2' Stop. It looks like the LFLAGS_WINDOWS variable in pyqtconfig.py is mishandling quotation marks and backslashes. This is with qt-win-opensource-src-4.4.0 and sip-4.7.5. In order to get sip to run from within the Python install, I had to add the following line to the install target of the Makefile inside the sipgen directory: copy /y $(TARGET).manifest C:\Python26\$(TARGET).manifest --kc _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
