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. There is a disk image with an
installer package in the wxPython Sourceforge download area, in
this group:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10718&release_id=84730
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-debug
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>
