hi there!

Im running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Python 2.5.2;
having successfully installed:
- the latest Qt SDK I could find [mac open source]
- the latest SIP [4.11.1] that I succeeded to build (1)

I should be able to install PyQt 4.7.7, but even the first configure phase (2) fails when 
invoking a "QT" command that doesn't exist:

Qt v4.7.0 free edition is being used.
Qt is built as a framework.
SIP 4.11.1 is being used.
... ... ...
Generating the C++ source for the QtCore module...
sh: QT: command not found
what am I missing?

has anybody else encountered this issue?

how did you solve it?

(1) the latest SIP [4.11.2] fails when running the "make install" command
(2) this is the usual "python configure.py" command, as recommended in the 
README file


Hi Jym,

although I had successfully installed the previous version of Qt, PyQt
and Eric4 already, I took the chance to check out the new version.
I deinstalled it all completely and used the pre-installed Python 2.6
of Snow Leopard, only.

Intesting size increase, btw:
qt-sdk-mac-opensource-2010.04.dmg 584.3 MB
qt-sdk-mac-opensource-2010.05.dmg 972 MB
The majority is in the debug libraries, from 341.4 MB to 733.5 MB.

Then I followed
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#downloading-sip
using the official download links for sip-4.11.1.tar.gz and QScintilla-gpl-2.4.5.tar.gz .

For SIP, I used i386, because I need it for psyco.

python configure.py --arch i386 --sdk MacOSX10.4u.sdk

make

sudo make install


Then, configured and made PyQt, accordingly,.

python configure.py --use-arch i386

make

sudo make install


This all worked smootly. Then I installed QScintilla, using doc/html-Qt4/index.html .
To figure out how to build it for 32 bit, I had to read quite a bit more:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qmake-platform-notes.html

   qmake qscintilla.pro-spec macx-g++  "CONFIG += x86"

make

sudo make install

And then the Python bindings, which uses the right flags now automatically.

    python configure.py

    make

    make install


I stopped here, but I guess the need for the above settings will repeat
for example-Qt4 and designer-Qt4 .

Your differences are Mac OS X 10.5.8 and Python 2.5.2, so you will
have 32 bit by default. I will wait for your reply, and if it does not
work still, I will do a python 2.5 trial as well. So far I don't see what
could be wrong. Alas, I cannot test on 10.5 .

hope you can find it - ciao -- chris
