PyKDE builds and installs in a lot of different environments and it isn't always possible to
|
|
|
|
|
foresee where users or distributions will locate components that PyKDE depends on. There are
|
|
|
|
|
a number of command line switches used to force configure.py to look in the correct locations for
|
|
|
|
|
directories or files.

NOTE: In the descriptions below "Default" is a "typical" value for common distributions <b>and

configure.py searches a number of locations in looking for the appropriate directories,
|
|
|
|
|
which may depend on the distribution used, where the version of Python used to run
|
|
|
|
|
configure.py is located, and other factors. For example, a default value of "python/site-packages"
|
|
|
|
|
could be "/usr/lib/python/site-packages", "/usr/local/python2.3/site-packages" or other values
|
|
|
|
|
depending on how and where Python is installed or which of several installed versions of Python
|
|
|
|
|
is used to run configure.py. configure.py will not try to complete the path for switch specified paths -
|
|
|
|
|
you <b>must</b> specifiy the complete path (eg /usr/lib/python/site-packages or ../tdecore)

For "normal" installations, configure.py will automatically discover all of the information covered by

Building PyKDE involves loading a large number of cpp and h files. The compile process can be speeded up
|
|
|
|
|
considerably (by as much as 80%) by concatenating all of the cpp files into a one (or several - see -j) large
|
|
|
|
|
cpp file. The price for this speed up is a large increase in memory usage. By default, the feature is
|
|
|
|
|
'on' in configure.py. To turn this feature off, use '-i'. You may wish to turn this off if the system doing
|
|
|
|
|
the compile has 128MB or less RAM.

Normally, the PyKDE modules are installed in python/site-packages. Writing to this directory requires
|
|
|
|
|
root access. RPM builders sometimes need to build the modules to a different directory, or you may want
|
|
|
|
|
to install the modules in a different location (for example, in a subdirectory of site-packages/). For this
|
|
|
|
|
option to be useful, you need to ensure that Python can still locate and import the PyKDE modules from
|
|
|
|
|
the specified destination.

This is a code generation option that only affects sip 4.0. It causes sip to generate C++

This option causes configure.py to generate C++ code and makefiles that compile many small file

80%, but reduces memory consumption. See -c above.

If your site requires the use of more than one or two option switches, you can place all of the options
|
|
|
|
|
in a text file and then reference only the text file's path and name on the command line. The options
|
|
|
|
|
are placed in the text file just as they would be on the command line, with one option per line.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, the options file for the command "python configure.py -c- -v /usr/local/PyQt/sip" would look
|
|
|
|
|
like:
|
|
|
|
|
<h4><u>options.txt</u></h4>

If for some reason you need to rebuild a PyKDE module but not all of PyKDE, you can use -l.
|
|
|
|
|
-l <modulename> (eg -l tdecore) will rebuild only the module specified; -l <modulename>:
|
|
|
|
|
(eg -l tdecore:) will rebuild the module specified and all successive modules. If changes are
|
|
|
|
|
made that affect linking (especially deleting methods or other symbols), you must use the
|
|
|
|
|
":" form, since later modules depend on earlier modules.
