Build system to support prefix and arbitrary python #25

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

The build system should support an optional prefix to install locations, so
you don't need to be root to build things.

Also you should be able to specify the python you want to use, as some
systems ( notably CentOS 5 ) have 2.4 as the system python, which yum and
other system tools depend on. We want to build with pyhton2.5 so just
calling "python" is not good enough.

Added environment variables

PYTHON = python2.5  or path to python interp you want to use
DESTDIR = prefix where all libs and binaries will get installed

sip and pyqt are still a bit tricky. Due to not just setting PATH and
[DY]LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but various Python paths need to be set too.

For now at least install sip and pyqt as root.
