I told once to someone to try precompiling Qt headers (Windows version). That should reduce a lot the compiling time. For the Debian packages of version 3.2.1 (not yet released), I've patched the Makefile.am so it creates a huge .cpp with all other .cpp's in a module, and compile it (as seen in --enable-final on KDE or MICO, for example). It takes huge amounts of memory (about 100MB on i386 for qtcmodule), but I can compile the entire PyQt suite _twice_ (both for Python 2.1 and 2.2) in about 20-25 minutes (Qt3) or barely 15 minutes (Qt2). I've been lazy in the past uploading new releases of PyQt because I takes a pain (recompile over recompile) evreytime I make a little change... *sigh*. From now, I expect to be updated. I think this process shouldn't do anything wrong to the code, but I'd like people to try the result before uploading it for general use. I'll announce them on a separate mail. _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
