| | 1 | Building wxPython on Mac OS X |
| | 2 | ----------------------------- |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | NOTE: OS X support is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL at this time. Most things |
| | 5 | are working now, but a few still don't. I know about most of |
| | 6 | them and am addressing them as I have time. If you have any |
| | 7 | ideas about a fix for the stuff that's still broken then |
| | 8 | please persue them and send the fixes to me. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | These are the steps I have used for building wxPython on Mac OS X 10.1 |
| | 12 | with the Apple Developer Tools, a.k.a the Darwin version. I assume |
| | 13 | that you know your way around a command line and that you know how to |
| | 14 | get things from various CVS repositories as needed. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | 1. Python 2.2 is required. There is a disk image with an installer |
| | 18 | package in the wxPython Sourceforge download area, in this group: |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10718&release_id=84730 |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | If, for some reason you need to build your own Python, get the |
| | 23 | source from www.python.org and follow theinstructions in the |
| | 24 | Mac/OSX/README file to build and install Python.app and the |
| | 25 | Python.framework. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | If you build your own Python then you may want to make a symlink or |
| | 28 | two in /usr/local/bin so that this version of Python can be found |
| | 29 | from the command line. For example: |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | cd /usr/local/bin |
| | 32 | sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/python2.2 python2.2 |
| | 33 | sudo ln -s python2.2 python |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | Also, if you create a /usr/local/bin/pythonw script like the |
| | 36 | following then you can run Python GUI apps (like wxPython) directly |
| | 37 | from the command line: |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | #!/bin/sh |
| | 40 | exec /Applications/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/python $@ |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | Be sure to give this script execute permissions: |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pythonw |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | If you would like to make a MachoPython installer from what you |
| | 47 | built then you may want to look at the scripts I use to do it |
| | 48 | located in wxPython/distrib/mac/buildPython. |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | One last thing, make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH |
| | 51 | environment variable. |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | 2. In a wxWindows CVS tree make a build directory. |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | cd ~/proj/wxWindows # or wherever you put it |
| | 57 | mkdir build |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | 3. Run configure from that build directory. |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | cd build |
| | 62 | ../configure --with-mac --with-opengl --enable-debug |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | 4. Make and install wxMac. |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | make |
| | 67 | sudo make install |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | 5. Build and install wxPython. |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | cd ../wxPython |
| | 72 | python setup.py IN_CVS_TREE=1 build install |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | 6. Test. Just navigate in the Finder to the demo directory and double |
| | 75 | click demo.py, or simple.py, or whatever you want to run. Or from |
| | 76 | a command line you can run it this way: |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | cd demo |
| | 79 | pythonw demo.py |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | 7. Figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, and then send |
| | 82 | the patches to me. <wink> |
