#243 Using of deprecated PyQt functions
Since pyqt-4.10 pyqtconfig module has been deprecated.
With pyqt-4.11.1 the project doesn't build, because it cannot generate source files from scidavis.sip (module pyqtconfig has been removed). The new dictionary named PYQT_CONFIGURATION doesn't provide any information except sip_flags. I've created the patch (see attachments) as a workaround for linux systems, but I'm not sure that this patch will work normally for any distribution.
Additional information:
- ArchLinux
- PyQt4 version 4.11.1 (latest)
- SciDAVis version 1.D7, 1.D8
SciDAVis is built against many outdated software libraries, and it is generally nontrivial to update. Starting with Qt, then qwt and now pyqt. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bugs to fix first before we can put the energy into porting to a new version of a library. So I'm downgrading the priority on this.
