[PySide] PySide 1.1.1 - Problems building pyside with Qt 4.8.0 both debug and release version on windows

[Bjørn Helge Kjøsnes]

Hi,

I did look into it last night and the problem seems to be include of 
some new types when generating the wrappers. The first one was fixed by 
adding some extra include in the object type for QFSFileEngine, but then 
a new error appears in QFile type. This one is not fixed by a simple 
include. If this works in the Linux and Mac version with Qt 4.8.0, it 
has to be a Windows specific problem in Shiboken. If anyone can point me 
to where to look in the Shiboken source and how to best debug this, I 
can have another go at it in my spare time. Is there any documentation 
on how it works. It seams like the things I find in the apiextractor 
documentation not match what I find in the xml typesystem files. At 
least not the enum type that I can see uses the flags attribute in 
another way in the source than in the 
documentation(http://www.pyside.org/docs/apiextractor/typesystem_specifying_types.html). 
What should I do to be sure my changes do not affect the earlier 
versions of Qt. I see some tags for version in the type system. Do this 
work on all elements?

This change to the typesystem_core_common.xml fixes the first error for 
Qt 4.8.0 on windows, but I do not know what happens in Qt 4.7.4 if I use 
this:

Original:
<object-type name="QFSFileEngine">
<extra-includes>
<include file-name="QDateTime" location="global"/>
</extra-includes>
</object-type>

New with extra include for Qt 4.8.0:
<object-type name="QFSFileEngine">
<extra-includes>
<include file-name="QDateTime" location="global"/>
<include file-name="QFile" location="global"/>
<include file-name="QIODevice" location="global"/>
</extra-includes>
</object-type>

Next is the procedures to get the code into the Source control. I looked 
at Gerrit, and have to admit that it did not make much sense to me. Are 
there any good descriptions on how to make the patches and how to add them?

Regards,
Bjorn Helge Kjosnes
