PyQt set up for using in Maya

[matthew park]

Hi there, 

I am trying to set up to make PyQt is available in maya script editor. 

Since there is no handy installer for 2014, I had to do manually with a guide document.

Here is what I did.

Installed Qt4.8.2

configured opensourced Qt in visual studios prompt

downloaded 'sip-4.14.5' and 'PyQt-win-gpl-4.10' unzip them in one folder

c:\Maya2014Scripts\sip-4.14.5

c:\Maya2014Scripts\PyQt-win-gpl-4.10

Edited qt.confile under (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014\bin)

[Paths] 

Prefix= Libraries=../lib

 Binaries=../bin

 Headers=../include/Qt

 Data=../ 

Plugins=../qt-plugins

Translations=../qt-translations

Unzip the /include/qt-4.8.2-64-include.tar.gz into /include/Qt

Unzip the /mkspecs/qt-4.8.2-64-mkspecs.tar.gz into /mkspecs

Build and install SIP and PyQt

From this point, I've kept on getting error about complaining 'path not found = %~dp' for SIP and no more proceeded.

Please help me out!

Basically I don't know how to install and build for PyQt and SIP for Maya2014.

I got batch script from the instruction page as below, but don't know where I execute this script in. Just command prompt or visual stuidos prompt? I don't know. Any specific folder, seems like it's visual drive

Here is the script below.

- For SIP

@echo off

set MAYAQTBUILD=%~dp0

set MAYAQTBUILD=%MAYAQTBUILD:~0,-1%

if exist v:\nul subst v: /d

subst v: "%MAYAQTBUILD%"

v:

set SIPDIR=v:\sip-4.14.5

set MSVC_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0

if [%LIBPATH%]==[] call "%MSVC_DIR%\VC\vcvarsall" amd64

set MAYA_LOCATION=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014

set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\include\python2.7;%MAYA_LOCATION%\Python\include

set LIB=%LIB%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\lib

cd %SIPDIR%

"%MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\mayapy" configure.py

nmake

nmake install

- For PyQt

@echo off

set MAYAQTBUILD=%~dp0

set MAYAQTBUILD=%MAYAQTBUILD:~0,-1%

if exist v:\nul subst v: /d

subst v: "%MAYAQTBUILD%"

v:

set MAYA_LOCATION=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2014

if exist m:\nul subst m: /d

subst m: "%MAYA_LOCATION%"

set MAYA_LOCATION=m:

set QTDIR=%MAYA_LOCATION%

set MSVC_VERSION=2010

set QMAKESPEC=%QTDIR%\mkspecs\win32-msvc%MSVC_VERSION%

if not exist "%QMAKESPEC%\qmake.conf" (

echo "You need to uncompress %MAYA_LOCATION%\mkspecs\qt-4.8.2-64-mkspecs.tar.gz !"

goto :end

)

if not exist "%MAYA_LOCATION%\include\Qt\QtCore\qdir.h" (

echo "You need to uncompress %MAYA_LOCATION%\include\qt-4.8.2-64-include.tar.gz in %MAYA_LOCATION%\include\Qt !"

goto :end

)

findstr /L /C:"Headers=../include/Qt" %MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\qt.conf >nul 2>&1

if ERRORLEVEL 1 (

echo "You need to edit %MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\qt.conf to use 'Headers=../include/Qt'"

goto :end

)

set SIPDIR=v:\sip-4.14.5

set PYQTDIR=v:\PyQt-win-gpl-4.10

set MSVC_DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0

if [%LIBPATH%]==[] call "%MSVC_DIR%\VC\vcvarsall" amd64

set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\include\python2.7;%MAYA_LOCATION%\Python\include

set LIB=%LIB%;%MAYA_LOCATION%\lib

cd %PYQTDIR%

set PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;%PATH%

"%MAYA_LOCATION%\bin\mayapy" configure.py LIBDIR_QT=%QTDIR%\lib INCDIR_QT=%QTDIR%\include\Qt MOC=%QTDIR%\bin\moc.exe -w --no-designer-plugin

nmake

nmake install

:end

pause

Thanks you very much for your warm hand!!

Why not just use a pre-packaged binary of PyQt4? :O

Ideally, you'd use the same version as Maya uses, but its no requirement as long as it's close.
