| | 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> |
