Installing Eric?

Kenneth McDonald

I'm wondering if anyone has experience/tips to offer on installing
Eric on OS X and XP. Installation on both seems to require a number
of steps, some of them seeming potentially fragile, and I'm wondering
if I'm looking at a job of perhaps hours (days?), or if everyone
manages in just a few minutes.

Thanks,
Ken

Install of course Python-2.4.1:
http://python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi
You need to install Qt, Sip, QScintilla and PyQt.
For linux things are easy. Install KDE (along with gnome if you want)
and everything will be there ready for eric3 installation.
On Windows, you need to somehow get Qt. Besides a commercial license or
an educational license (check with university) there exist 2
possibilitees for Qt free: (1) Qt4 free but I'm not sure about the
status of the announced PyQt; and (2) Qt3 GPL. PyQt has everything you
need for these possibilities, except for the GPL.
For the free GPL download:
http://www.quadgames.com/download/py.../PyQtGPL10.exe. This will
give you everything at once:
Qt 3.3.4 (derived from http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/)
Sip 4.1.1
QScintilla 1.62
PyQt 3.13

After this get
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e...ar.gz?download
Unpack into a directory under your python2.4 directory.
Then issue 'python install.py' and you should be ready to go (eric will
set itself up under site-packages)

These days you want 2.4.2. Within a number (2.4.X), the
only changes are bugfixes, so go for the largest available.
When we go to 2.5, there will be some changes to adapt to,
those differences leave something to choose. You should
always feel free to grab the most recent matching the first
two digits.

Hi, I appologize if this is slightly OT, but I am really struggling to figure out how to install Python2.4 on RHEL4. To make matters worse, the RHEL4 machine is a 64bit architecture.

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
