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-qt. -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". -- cgit v1.2.3
