1 | Building wxPython on Mac OS X |
| 2 | ----------------------------- | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | NOTE: OS X support is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL at this time. Most things | |
| 5 | don't work correctly (or at all) yet. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | These are the steps I have used for building wxPython on Mac OS X 10.1 | |
| 8 | with the Apple Developer Tools, a.k.a the Darwin version. I assume | |
| 9 | that you know your way around a command line and that you know how to | |
| 10 | get things from various CVS repositories as needed. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | ||
| 13 | 1. As of this writing the CVS version of Python (2.2b1+) is required. | |
| 14 | You can get it via anonymous CVS from the Python project at | |
| 15 | Sourceforge. Build Python.app and install it as described in the | |
| 16 | Mac/OSX/README file in the Python distribution. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | 2. You may want to make a symlink or two in /usr/local/bin so that | |
| 19 | this version of Python can be found from the command line. For | |
| 20 | example: | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | cd /usr/local/bin | |
| 23 | sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/python2.2.exe python2.2 | |
| 24 | sudo ln -s python2.2 python | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | 3. In a wxWindows CVS tree make a build directory. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | cd ~/proj/wxWindows # or wherever you put it | |
| 29 | mkdir build | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | 4. Run configure from that build directory. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | cd build | |
| 34 | ../configure --with-mac --with-opengl --enable-debug | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | 5. Make and install wxMac. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | make | |
| 39 | sudo make install | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | 6. Build wxPython for testing (without installing it.) | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | cd ../wxPython | |
| 44 | python setup.py IN_CVS_TREE=1 build_ext --inplace --debug | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | 7. Test. The easiest way to do this from the CVS tree (witout having | |
| 47 | to reinstall after every build) is to make a symlink in the demo | |
| 48 | directory to the wxPython package dir, and then run stuff directly | |
| 49 | from the demo. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | cd demo | |
| 52 | ln -s ../wxPython . | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | 8. Now just navigate in the Finder to the demo directory and double | |
| 55 | click demo.py, or simple.py, or whatever you want to run. | |
| 56 | (Unfortunately it can't be done from the commandline in a terminal | |
| 57 | window. You can open the Console app to see any tracebacks or | |
| 58 | other output.) | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | 9. Figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, and then send | |
| 61 | the patches to me. <wink> | |
