Building PySide on Microsoft Windows

Prerequisites

• MS Visual Studio Express 2008 [microsoft.com]
  • NOTE: Visual Studio Express 2010 is not supported
• CMake [cmake.org]
• Git [code.google.com]
• Python 2.6 or 2.7 [python.org]

NOTE: Be sure that git.exe and cmake.exe are all in your PATH.

Build

• Open “Visual Studio Command Prompt”: [Start Menu]->Programs->Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition->Visual Studio Tools

• Get build scripts from repository http://qt.gitorious.org/pyside/packaging and go to folder “c:\repositories\packaging\setuptools”. The script can automatically download the sources, compile them, and create the installer, all in one step.

• Run the build.py script (it must be run from “Visual Studio Command Prompt”):

To build the latest stable binaries for Python 2.7 and Qt 4.7.3, run the script with parameters:

1.   c:\repositories\packaging\setuptools>c:\Python27\python.exe build.py -d -q c:\Qt\4.7.3\bin\qmake.exe
2.  

To build the latest development binaries:

1.   c:\repositories\packaging\setuptools>c:\Python27\python.exe build.py -d -m dev -q c:\Qt\4.7.3\bin\qmake.exe
2.  

All build.py parameters:

1.    -p <package_version> Specify package version. Default is latest stable version (1.0.4)
2.    -d                   Download latest sources from git repository
3.    -m <pyside_version>  Specify what version of modules to download from git repository:
4.                          'dev' (master tag) or 'stable' (1.0.4 tag). Default is 'stable'.
5.    -q <qmake_path>      Locate qmake
6.    -e                   Check the environment
7.    -b                   Specify what module to build
8.    -o                   Create a distribution package only using existing binaries
9.    

• After the successful build, the final binary distribution can be found in sub-folder “dist”:
  1.   c:\repositories\packaging\setuptools\dist\PySide-1.0.4qt473.win32-py2.7.exe
  2.
