missing dependency in documentation to build on Ubuntu 14.04.1

[mschilli87]

according to the documentation, the following line should install all dependencies on Ubuntu:

# apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit python-tox python3-sip

Then, one is asked to run

$ tox -e mkvenv

This resulted in the following error for me (on Ubuntu 14.04.1):

ext/_yaml.c:8:22: fatal error: pyconfig.h: No such file or directory

Installing the python3-dev package fixed this:

# apt-get install python3-dev
$ tox -e mkvenv

mkvenv: commands succeeded
congratulations :)

Hm, interesting - yaml should install successfully even without python3-dev, just without C speedups (which are irrelevant for how qutebrowser uses it). Isn't that what you're seeing?

I can't say much since I'm not a python developer. I used qutebrowser on Gentoo Linux via the ebuild before. Now I tried to get it running on another machine running Ubuntu by just following the instructions cited above. I simply googled the error message learning that this hints at missing python-dev package. Since I know from Gentoo that I built qutebrowser for python 3.4, I figured I'd need the python3-dev package on Ubuntu. After installing that package, tox finished without errors. Maybe another package pulled in as one of the python3-dev dependencies would have been sufficient, I didn't test that. But with the list currently given in the documentation I couldn't succeed running tox.

I see - thanks for the explanation! I'll simply merge it, it sure can't hurt 👍
