-Building wxPython on Mac OS X
------------------------------
-
-
-These are the steps I have used for building wxPython on Mac OS X 10.x
-with the Apple Developer Tools, a.k.a the Darwin version. I assume
-that you know your way around a command line and that you know how to
-get things from various CVS repositories as needed.
-
-
-1. "MacPython-OSX" 2.3 is required. If you don't have it already there is a disk image with an
- installer package at
-
- http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/download.html
-
- If, for some reason you need to build your own Python, get the
- source from www.python.org and follow the instructions in the
- Mac/OSX/README file to build and install the Python.framework and
- Python tools.
-
- One last thing, make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH
- environment variable since that is where the new python and pythonw
- commands will be located.
-
-
-2. In a wxWindows CVS tree make a build directory. (You can also use
- a CVS snapshot located in http://wxwindows.org/snapshots/ or the
- released wxPythonSrc-*.tr.gz archive.)
-
- cd ~/proj/wxWindows # or wherever you put it
- mkdir build
-
-3. Run configure from that build directory.
-
- cd build
- ../configure --with-mac \
- --with-opengl \
- --enable-geometry \
- --enable-optimise \
- --with-libjpeg=builtin \
- --with-libpng=builtin \
- --with-libtiff=builtin \
-
- If you want to add code that activates various runtime checks and
- assertion exceptions then add --enable-debug_flag.
-
-4. Make and install wxMac.
-
- make
- sudo make install
-
-5. Build and install wxPython.
-
- cd ../wxPython
- python setup.py build install
-
- If you would like to install to someplace besides the Python
- site-packages directory (such as to your home directory) then you
- can add "--root=<path>" after the "install" command. To use
- wxPython like this you'll need to ensure that the directory
- containing wxPyrthon is contained in in the PYTHONPATH environment
- variable.
-
-6. Test. Just navigate in the Finder to the demo directory and double
- click demo.py, or simple.py, or whatever you want to run. Or from
- a command line you can run it this way:
-
- cd demo
- pythonw demo.py
-
-7. Figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, and then send
- the patches to me. <wink>
