-README for building of ScintillaEditPy on Qt with PySide
-
-This directory is for building a Python encapsulation of Scintilla for use
-with PySide. For C++ libraries see the README in the parent directory.
-
- Prerequisites
-
-PySide and ScintillaEditPy currently only support Python 2.x.
-
-CMake may be used to rebuild PySide and is required on Windows.
-It can be downloaded from
-http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
-
-On Windows, PySide only supports Visual C++ 2008. The "Visual Studio 2008
-Command Prompt" should be used to run all build commands.
-Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition can be downloaded from
-http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/express/future/bb421473
-
-Download and install PySide. Instructions are on the PySide web site
-http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:LanguageBindings::PySide::Downloads
-
-For Linux, there may be both PySide library packages and PySide development
-files. Both should be installed as ScintillaEditPy needs the headers and
-libraries from the development package and runs with the normal library package.
-On apt-based systems, the packages are libshiboken-dev, shiboken, libpyside-dev,
-and python-pyside. python-dev is also needed for Python language headers.
-On yum-based systems the packages are shiboken-devel, python-pyside-devel,
-and python-devel.
-The qmake program may be called qmake-qt5 or qmake-qt4.
-It can be found with:
-which qmake-qt5 || which qmake-qt4 || which qmake
-
-On Windows, the PySide library packages can be downloaded from
-http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/PySide_Binaries_Windows
-The PySide development files must be built from source using CMake as
-described on the PySide site. This will create a Unix-style set of [bin, include,
-lib, and share] directories in packaging\setuptools\install-py<ver>-qt<qver>.
-There is no standard place for the PySide development files so copy them
-to "\usr", creating it if needed.
-
-On OS X, a combined package with PySide libraries and PySide development
-files can be downloaded from
-http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/PySide_Binaries_MacOSX
-This package works best in combination with the Qt libraries for Mac from
-http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/downloads#qt-lib
-
-The path should be modified so that a Python 2.x interpreter and Qt's "qmake"
-program can be run by typing "python" or "qmake".
-
- Building
-
-There are several steps to building and they are encapsulated in the sepbuild.py
-script which is run:
-
-python sepbuild.py
-
-This script first runs the WidgetGen.py script to fill out the ScintillaEdit.h,
-ScintillaEdit.cpp and ScintillaConstants.py files.
-
-A short file "sepbuild.pri" is written out which contains a series of version and
-path properties discovered by sepbuild.py which are used by qmake.
-
-Then it runs PySide's "shiboken" program to create C++ code that will act as a
-bridge between Python and the C++ libraries. This code goes into the
-ScintillaEditPy/ScintillaEditPy directory. Several log files are produced which can
-help uncover problems in the bridge if it fails to build.
-
-The qmake program is run to produce make files from ScintillaEditPy.pro.
-
-The system make program is then run to build the library. The library is located in
-the scintilla/bin directory as ScintillaEditPy.so for Unix systems and
-ScintillaEditPy.pyd for Windows.
-
-A demonstration program can be run:
-
-python testsepq.py
-
-The individual steps in the script can be run manually if wanted although the
-shiboken program has complex arguments and differs between systems so run
-sepbuild.py and copy the section starting with a line containing "generatorrunner"
-and continuing to "typesystem_ScintillaEdit.xml".
-
-On Windows, it is more difficult to set up an environment to debug ScintillaEditPy
-since all the libraries have to be debug or all have to be release. The easy path
-is to always build for release with "nmake release".
-
-To remove generated code, run "python sepbuild.py --clean".
