Building and installation on Linux

Qutepart depends on:

  • Python 2.7
  • PyQt4 (see Known problems section)
  • pcre

1. Install pcre and development files

On Debian, Ubuntu and other Linuxes install package libpcreX-dev, where X is available in your distribution pcre version. For other OSes - see instructions on pcre website

2. Install Python development files

On Debian, Ubuntu and other Linuxes install package python-dev, on other systems - see Python website

3. Install C compiler

It will probably be gcc

4. Build and install the package

python setup.py install

Building and installation on Windows

  • Download and install the CMake binary. Tested with 2.8.12.
  • Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition 2008 (or the full version). This version MUST be used for Python < 3.3 on Windows. Use MSVC 2010 for Python >= 3.3.
  • Create a root directory and place the following as subdirectories in it:

Make pcre

cd <pcre-8.33 source>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF -DPCRE_SUPPORT_UTF:BOOL=ON -DPCRE_SUPPORT_JIT:BOOL=ON -G "Visual Studio 9 2008"
cmake --build . --config Release

Build/install Python modules

cd qutepart
python setup.py install --include-dir=../pcre-8.33/build --lib-dir=../pcre-8.33/build/Release

Qutepart and Katepart

Kate and Katepart (an editor component) is really cool software. The Kate authors and community have created, probably, the biggest set of highlighters and indenters for programming languages.

  • Qutepart uses Kate syntax highlighters (XML files)
  • Qutepart contains a port from Javascript to Python of Kate indenters (12% of the code base in version 1.0.0)
  • Qutepart doesn't contain Katepart code.

Nothing is wrong with Katepart. Qutepart has been created to enable reusing highlighters and indenters in projects where a KDE dependency is not acceptable.
