Ideally you use a python virtual environment and install the dependencies their inside.
cd qmlbook
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate
This gives you a clean python3 setup. Now you need to install the dependencies:
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all listed packages from the requirements document.
For rebuilding the documentation we also use a screen shot tool called shorty. It takes a screenshot from a running Qt application. To build it please clone the repo and build the tool with a decent Qt version.
git clone git@github.com:qmlbook/shorty.git
cd shorty
mkdir build && cd build
qmake .. && make
Make sure shorty is on your search path, when
Simply use the Makefile provided. It supports a number of targets. We regularly build html, singlehtml and latexpdf, so these aught to work out of the box. The resulting files will end up in the _build directory.
Screenshots are used by the screenshots.qml files located inside each chapter directory. This relies on the shorty utility . Simply run make-screenshots.sh to automatically invoke shorty on all screenshots.qml files in the source tree.
