SIP - C/C++ Bindings Generator for Python v2 and v3
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
The SIP documentation (including installation instructions) can be found in the
|
|
``doc`` directory.

|
Building from the Mercurial Repository
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are using a copy of SIP cloned from the Mercurial repository, or are
|
|
using a Mercurial archive, then you have to prepare it first before you follow
|
|
the normal installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
The preparation is done using the ``build.py`` script which can be found in the
|
|
same directory as this ``README`` file. If it isn't there then you probably
|
|
have a packaged release and should just follow the normal installation
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
The ``build.py`` script requires that ``flex`` and ``bison``, and the Mercurial
|
|
Python bindings are installed. If you want to create the HTML documentation
|
|
then Sphinx must also be installed.
|
|
|
|
To prepare run the following::
|
|
|
|
python build.py prepare
|
|
|
|
Note that ``build.py`` is a Python v2 script.
|
|
|
|
Now you can follow the normal installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
The ``build.py`` script has other useful commands, use the ``--help`` option to
|
|
see the details.
