sip-install - build and install the sip project
sip-install builds and installs a project.
- -h, --help
- Display a help message.
- -V, --version
- Display the SIP version number.
- --quiet
- All progress messages are disabled.
- --verbose
- Verbose progress messages are enabled.
- --api-dir DIR
- A QScintilla .api file is created in DIR.
- --build-dir
DIR
- DIR is created as a build directory in which all generated files
will be created. This build directory is not removed after the build has
been completed. By default a temporary build directory is created which is
removed after the build has been completed.
- --concatenate
N
- The generated code is split into N files. By default one file is
generated for each C structure or C++ class. Specifying a low value of
N can significantly speed up the build of large projects.
- --disable
NAME
- The NAME bindings are disabled and will not be built. This option
may be specified multiple times. It is only available if the project
contains multiple sets of bindings.
- --disabled-feature
TAG
- The TAG feature tag is disabled. This option may be specified
multiple times.
- --enable
NAME
- The NAME bindings are enabled and will be built. Any associated
configuration tests that would normally be run to determine if the
bindings should be built are suppressed. This option may be specified
multiple times. It is only available if the project contains multiple sets
of bindings.
- --debug
- A build with debugging symbols is performed.
- --no-docstrings
- The generation of docstrings that describe the signature of all functions,
methods and constructors is disabled.
- --no-distinfo
- The creation of the .dist-info directory is disabled.
- --pep484-pyi
- The generation of Python type hints stub files is enabled. These files
contain a description of a module's API that is compliant with PEP
484.
- --protected-is-public
- SIP can generate code to provide access to protected C++ functions from
Python. On non-Windows platforms this code can be avoided if the
protected keyword is redefined as public during compilation.
This can result in a significant reduction in the size of a generated
Python module. This option enables the redefinition of protected
and is the default on all platforms except Windows.
- --no-protected-is-public
- This option disables the redefinition of protected to access
protected C++ functions from Python and is the default on Windows.
- --scripts-dir
DIR
- Any project scripts will be installed in DIR. If DIR is
relative then it is taken as relative to the target directory. By default
the directory containing the Python interpreter is used.
- --target-dir
DIR
- The project will be installed in DIR. By default it is the
site-packages directory of the Python installation.
- --tracing
- Debugging statements that trace the execution of the bindings are
automatically generated. By default the statements are not generated.
