So I decided to install it on my work PC.
Unfortunately it's running Windows XP, and I can't change it. And those OS doesn't have normal package manager.
To install Eric I needed Qt, Python, PyQt, QScintilla.
I had opensource Qt (installed with MinGW) and Active Python installed on my PC.
So I downloaded PyQt, QScintilla and Eric.
I installed binary package of PyQt and started to build QScintilla with MinGW. The build was successful, but python bindings didn't installed because of some error with SIP. So I tried to build SIP separately. It wasn't build because of some unknown linking errors with Python libraries.
I searched trough the internet, but was unable to find solution.
So I decided to reinstall everything.
First of all, I downloaded Python from python.org and installed it (it was what really helped).
Then I reinstalled Qt.
Then I downloaded source package of PyQt, unpacked it and run
python configure.py
make
make install
The build completed with no errors.
Next I downloaded QScintilla source and unpacked it. Then I went to Qt4 subdirectory, and run
qmake qscintilla.pro
make
make install
After that I went to Python subfolder of QScintilla source, and ran
python configure.py
make
make install
When the build was completed I had all needed to run Eric4.
(Also SIP is included into PyQt, so one don't need to build it separately).
Then I unpacked Eric and run
python install.py
eric4.bat
It started after all!
Eric is really great, but I've met the problem on second run - it haven't started because of some error in debugger configuration. So I had to turn remote debugging and passive debugging on through eric-configure.bat. After it the IDE started normally.
