1 | Building wxPython on Mac OS X |
| 2 | ----------------------------- | |
| 3 | ||
| 05d61b69 | 4 | |
| 1e4a197e | 5 | These are the steps I have used for building wxPython on Mac OS X 10.x |
| b6e5c445 RD |
6 | with the Apple Developer Tools, a.k.a the Darwin version. I assume |
| 7 | that you know your way around a command line and that you know how to | |
| 8 | get things from various CVS repositories as needed. | |

11 | 1. "MacPython-OSX" 2.3 is required. If you don't have it already there is a disk image with an |
| 12 | installer package at | |
| 05d61b69 | 13 | |
| 8b9a4190 | 14 | http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/download.html |
| b6e5c445 | 15 | |
| 05d61b69 | 16 | If, for some reason you need to build your own Python, get the |
| 1e4a197e RD |
17 | source from www.python.org and follow the instructions in the |
| 18 | Mac/OSX/README file to build and install the Python.framework and | |
| 19 | Python tools. | |
| 05d61b69 RD |
20 | |
| 21 | One last thing, make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH | |
| 1e4a197e RD |
22 | environment variable since that is where the new python and pythonw |
| 23 | commands will be located. | |

26 | 2. In a wxWindows CVS tree make a build directory. (You can also use |
| 27 | a CVS snapshot located in http://wxwindows.org/snapshots/ or the | |
| 28 | released wxPythonSrc-*.tr.gz archive.) | |
| b6e5c445 RD |
29 | |
| 30 | cd ~/proj/wxWindows # or wherever you put it | |
| 31 | mkdir build | |
| 32 | ||
| 05d61b69 | 33 | 3. Run configure from that build directory. |
| b6e5c445 RD |
34 | |
| 35 | cd build | |
| 88c32d58 | 36 | ../configure --with-mac \ |
| 8b9a4190 RD |
37 | --with-opengl \ |
| 38 | --enable-geometry \ | |
| 39 | --enable-optimise \ | |
| 40 | --with-libjpeg=builtin \ | |
| 41 | --with-libpng=builtin \ | |
| 42 | --with-libtiff=builtin \ | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | If you want to add code that activates various runtime checks and | |
| 45 | assertion exceptions then add --enable-debug_flag. | |
| b6e5c445 | 46 | |
| 05d61b69 | 47 | 4. Make and install wxMac. |
| b6e5c445 RD |
48 | |
| 49 | make | |
| 50 | sudo make install | |
| 51 | ||
| 05d61b69 | 52 | 5. Build and install wxPython. |
| b6e5c445 RD |
53 | |
| 54 | cd ../wxPython | |
| 1e4a197e RD |
55 | python setup.py build install |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | If you would like to install to someplace besides the Python | |
| 58 | site-packages directory (such as to your home directory) then you | |
| 59 | can add "--root=<path>" after the "install" command. To use | |
| 60 | wxPython like this you'll need to ensure that the directory | |
| 61 | containing wxPyrthon is contained in in the PYTHONPATH environment | |
| 62 | variable. | |
| b6e5c445 | 63 | |
| 05d61b69 | 64 | 6. Test. Just navigate in the Finder to the demo directory and double |
| f54a35fe RD |
65 | click demo.py, or simple.py, or whatever you want to run. Or from |
| 66 | a command line you can run it this way: | |
| 67 | ||
| 05d61b69 RD |
68 | cd demo |
| 69 | pythonw demo.py | |
| b6e5c445 | 70 | |
| 05d61b69 | 71 | 7. Figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, and then send |
| b6e5c445 RD |
72 | the patches to me. <wink> |
