Hi, I've compiled the latest PyQt5 snaphot, on 32bit python 3.3.1 (compiled with mingw, using a self-made build script based on scons), Windows7, Qt 5.1alpha.
I've used this configuration step: D:\_cpp_projects_\Python\Python-3.3.1\.build_release\python.exe configure.py --no-docstrings --confirm-license -u --spec=win32-g++ --verbose --trace --sip="D:\_cpp_projects_\Python\Python-3.3.1\sip.exe" LFLAGS+="-LD:\_cpp_projects_\Python\Python-3.3.1\.build_debug -LD:\_cpp_projects_\Python\Python-3.3.1\.build_release" DEFINES+=_DEBUG (It's necessary to include the release version of the python lib even in debug build for the designer plugins.) I've run into a number of problems: (1) PyQt's configure.py autoamtically assumes certain MS-compilers on the win32 platform, in TargetConfiguration.__init__():262 and following: # The default qmake spec. if sys.platform == 'win32': if self.py_version >= 0x030300: #self.qmake_spec = 'win32-msvc2010' ---- self.qmake_spec = 'win32-g++' elif self.py_version >= 0x020600: self.qmake_spec = 'win32-msvc2008' elif self.py_version >= 0x020400: self.qmake_spec = 'win32-msvc.net' else: self.qmake_spec = 'win32-msvc' else: # Use the Qt default. (We may update it for MacOS/X later.) self.qmake_spec = '' I had to make the marked change to get around that for my mingw-based python. It would be nice if there was an option to influence that. [Motivation: I must embedd the python interpreter, and I want to get away from MS Visual Studio, because it is becoming slower with each version. Hence I'll have to compile python myself using mingw, which is non-standard.] (2) All makefiles attempt to build all DLLs without referring to the python DLL. Adding "-lpython33_d" to each Makefile.Debug and "-lpython33" to Makefile.Release solves this. I tried adding LFLAGS_DEBUG+="-lpython33_d" as parameter to the configure script, but it had no effect on the makefiles. (3) The final debugging versions of the DLLs get the wrong names. They all miss the trailing "_d". This way they can't be imported, unless manually renamed arcordingly.
