| | 1 | Building wxPython on Mac OS X |
| | 2 | ----------------------------- |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | These are the steps I have used for building wxPython on Mac OS X 10.x |
| | 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. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | |
| | 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 |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/download.html |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | If, for some reason you need to build your own Python, get the |
| | 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. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | One last thing, make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH |
| | 22 | environment variable since that is where the new python and pythonw |
| | 23 | commands will be located. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | |
| | 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.) |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | cd ~/proj/wxWindows # or wherever you put it |
| | 31 | mkdir build |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | 3. Run configure from that build directory. |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | cd build |
| | 36 | ../configure --with-mac \ |
| | 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. |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | 4. Make and install wxMac. |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | make |
| | 50 | sudo make install |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | 5. Build and install wxPython. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | cd ../wxPython |
| | 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. |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | 6. Test. Just navigate in the Finder to the demo directory and double |
| | 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 | |
| | 68 | cd demo |
| | 69 | pythonw demo.py |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | 7. Figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, and then send |
| | 72 | the patches to me. <wink> |
