Build prerequisites for PyQwt-4.0rc0.tar.gz on Windows are:
- Python-2.3.4.exe.
Supported versions: Python-2.3.x, Python-2.2.x, and probably
also Python-2.1.x.
- Qt.
Supported versions: Qt-3.3.x, Qt-3.2.x, Qt-3.1.x, Qt-3.0.x,
Qt-2.3.1 and Qt-2.3.0.
- sip-4.0rc4.tar.gz (requires at least Python-2.3.0) or sip-3.10.2.tar.gz.
Supported versions: sip-4.0, -3.10.2, -3.10.1, and -3.10, but the most
recent version gets most testing.
You may also try a snapshot at your own risk.
- Buy PyQt.
Supported versions: PyQt-3.12, -3.11, and -3.10, but the most recent
version gets most testing.
You may also try a snapshot at your own risk.
- README for bug fixes and upgrades.
Note:
You must install sip and PyQt with the 'configure.py' script instead of the
deprecated 'build.py' script.
To exploit the full power of the QwtPlot widget, you should install at
least one the Numerical Python extensions:
Numeric
or its successor
numarray.
I am using Numeric-23.1.tar.gz and numarray-0.9.tar.gz.
Versions of Numeric later than 21.0 are supported.
Numarray is newer and therefore less stable than Numeric, so get the latest!
The source package PyQwt-4.0rc0.tar.gz contains a 20040605 CVS snapshot
of the Qwt library with a few patches.
Warning:
Most installation problems are related to the presence of
old executables (sip.exe),
old libraries (libqt*.exp, libqt*.lib, lib.qt*.pyd,
libsip.exp, libsip.lib, libsip.pyd),
old header files (sip.h, sipQt.h)
or old Python files (qt*.py, qt*.pyc).
