2. Installation

Warning: PyQwt_Qt230-3.8.win32-py2.3.exe is the latest ``non-commercial'' version of PyQwt on Window for QtWin230-NonCommercial.exe and PyQt-win-nc-3.8.exe, because Trolltech and Riverbank Computing have discontinued their non-commercial software. Hopefully, this situation will change with the availability of a new book on Qt programming including a non-commercial version of Qt-3.2. I will try to keep PyQwt-3.10.tar.gz working with the commercial releases of Qt and PyQt on Windows, but the installation instructions for Windows may be inaccurate or obsolete.

You can install PyQwt on POSIX and Microsoft Windows operating systems:

  1. see 2.1 for instructions on the use of the binary Windows installer, to be used with the non-commercial releases of Qt and PyQt.
  2. see 2.2 for installation instructions starting from source code for Unix and Linux.
  3. see 2.3 for installation instructions starting from source code for Windows, MSVC and Qt-Non-Commercial. Thanks to feedback from developers with a commercial Qt license the installation scripts have been adapted to Qt-3.0.x, Qt-3.1.x and Qt-3.2.x. Contact the mailing list, if you run into problems.

Note: The compatibility of PyQwt's build scripts with the commercial packages of Qt and PyQt on Windows depends on your feedback, because I do not have access to those versions of Qt and PyQt.
