Sorry to bother you again today :) I am trying to build python-tqt from GIT (after I built sip4-tqt and tqscintilla. Btw, somebody with the required access could edit the "How to build guide" section 7 "Build order" and move "tqscintilla" before "python-tqt" since the former is a requirement for the latter). I have this situation:  1) if I use sip 4.10.5 (the one from sip4-tqt package) the correct sip.h file is installed in /usr/include/python2.X. Nevertheless configuration fails as follow: sip: /home/tde_src/2_build/build/dependencies/python-tqt/sip/qt/qtmod.sip:23: syntax error at configure.py:927    os.system(string.join(argv)), where this command get invoked: /usr/bin/sip" -x TQt_STYLE_WINDOWSXP -x TQt_STYLE_INTERLACE -x TQt_STYLE_WINDOWSXP -x TQt_SIP_PRE_4_7_2 -x VendorID -t WS_X11 -t TQt_3_3_6 -j 10 -c qt -b qt/qt.sbf -I/home/tde_src/2_build/build/dependencies/python-tqt/sip /home/tde_src/2_build/build/dependencies/python-tqt/sip/qt/qtmod.sip For reference, the failing line in qtmod.sip is: %Module qt 2 PS: I am no SIP expert at all :( 2) instead if I use sip 4.13.3-2 that comes with debian/testing (and which should not be used according to the How to Build giude) the configuration is able to complete correctly (beside a never ending list of deprecated warnings) but then the building fails since the incorrect sip.h file (and libraries) is installed qobject.sip:2199:9: error: ‘pyqt3TQtSignal’ was not declared in this scope So I wonder how you manage to build python-tqt. What am I missing? Have a nice weekend :) Michele
