It seems you need pyqt to make Armory,
Well, considering that the build instructions say so, this is hardly surprising Smiley

Of course it's in the instructions, at first I was under the impression that pyqt was just needed at runtime, not for building. By the time everything was working I was rather tired and didn't feel like rewriting a good portion of it plus doing MORE testing just to remove that part, such is life.

Probably because what I said: PyQt needs some small changes to behave properly within the virtualenv. Still, those lines are unnecessary once PyQt is installed by brew.

It is because of what you said. I'm well aware they're unnecessary, but I'm not able to go through the whole gambit of fixing and testing right now. If you figured it out, that's great. Once I get over this damn flu I'll try to make it less gross, or you can fork that gist, I don't care. I should probably reiterate that this script was in no way intended for production use. I mean, it would work, but it was just intended to be a proof of concept.

Oh, and I'd like to point out that it doesn't actually need any changes. The configure.py file has some handy --bindir, --destdir and --sipdir options.

Is there are IRC channel for Armory or something like it? I'm tired of constantly checking the forum, live chat would be much easier.
