How to build a 4-ways universal Python 2.6 on MacOS X 10.5.5/XCode 3.1.1?

Somewhere in the E.U., le 07/10/2008 Bonjour I am having some difficulty building a 4-ways universal Python 2.6 on MacOS X 10.5.5/XCode 3.1.1. The hardware I am attempting the build on is an aging twin-G5 (a 64-bits architecture)... I am aware of the incompatibility of Tcl/Tk with 64-bits architectures, which is not an issue for me (I nonetheless installed the latest ActiveState build, and changed setup.py to first look in / Library/Frameworks/). When I invoke configure thus: ./configure --enable-framework --enable-universalsdk --with-universal- archs="all" --with-cxx-main=gcc-4.2 the operation is a failure (no Makefile is generated) because configure reports it can't figure out the size of an "int". Removing the --with-universal-archs="all" option does result in a Makefile being produced but only for 32-bits architectures. Note that I had to add the --with-cxx-main=gcc-4.2 option as otherwise gcc-4.0 was selected. What I have googled so far hints at problems in building what I am after, but it is unclear if these have been overcome. What am I missing? Merci Hubert Holin

Also the Python 2.6 installer did not install /Applications/MacPython 2.6 at all. Kent PS Apologies to pythonmac-sig-owner, I originally sent this to that address by mistake...

Hello World Cross Platform Problems
by Ken Mankoff Oct. 6, 2008

Hi PythonMac List, I'm new to python and wxPython/wxWidgets and this whole development environment, and I'm having some trouble I hope you all can help with. I'm trying to get a Hello World application in wxWidgets as a stand-alone app running on multiple machines via py2app. The second machine is OS X 10.4 PPC with the system python of 2.3. Python 2.5.2 is installed via fink but I don't think that the double-clickable app access that version. My dev machine is OS X 10.5 Intel. I've built python 2.6 as a framework. I used " --enable-universalsdk" and "--enable-framework=/opt/python/2.6/Framework" to configure. I built wxWidgets with "--enable-universal_binary" and "--with-macosx-version-min=10.4". I built wxPython with "python2.6 setup.py build_ext BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 --inplace --debug" When I run py2applet I get a .app that runs on the local machine but not on the 10.4/PPC/Python2.3 machine. I've tried skipping py2applet and running "python setup.py py2app" and I get the same results. It appears the .app continues to look for python versions that exist only on the dev machine. I see people have posted about this in the past on this list and the advice is "don't use Apple python, build your own from python.org" and I have done that, but still have this issue. > hello.app mankoff$ ./Contents/MacOS/python dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python Referenced from: /Users/mankoff/Desktop/hello.app/./Contents/MacOS/python Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap > $ Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks, -k. P.S. The wxPython docs state that Fink users will require X11. Build your own if you want Aqua widgets. After having issues (above) with roll-your-own I decided to try fink (fink install py2app-py24), to see if it would work even in X11. It did not work on the 10.4 machine either, but it did work on the development machine in *Aqua* not X11.

Any idea how this problem may be fixed? This what I get when I type idle at the command prompt: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/idle", line 3, in <module> from idlelib.PyShell import main File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 14, in <module> import macosxSupport File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/idlelib/macosxSupport.py", line 6, in <module> import Tkinter File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 39, in <module> import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so, 2): Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_tkinter.so Reason: image not found Thanks, Rajanikanth

Problem with wxPython and wx-config during build of 3rd party lib
by newbie73 Sept. 30, 2008

I am attempting to build parts of the Enthought Tool Suite and am running into some trouble with a package that uses wxPython (and wx-config). My system has two versions of wx-config, the one that comes with Leopard and the one I installed. I believe the problem with the installation is the use of the wrong wx-config, though I am not sure how to correct the problem. Default Version: /usr/bin/wx-config Custom Version: /usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/bin/wx-config Full log of the installation attempt is attached to the e-mail Partial Install Log: $ export WX_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.8.1/bin/wx-config $ sudo easy_install Chaco Searching for Chaco Best match: Chaco 3.0.0 Processing Chaco-3.0.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg Chaco 3.0.0 is already the active version in easy-install.pth Using /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Chaco-3.0.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg Processing dependencies for Chaco Searching for Enable[traits]>=3.0.0.dev Reading http://code.enthought.com/enstaller/eggs/source Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Enable/ Reading http://code.enthought.com/projects/enable Best match: Enable 3.0.1 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/E/Enable/Enable-3.0.1.tar.gz#md5=ae5… Processing Enable-3.0.1.tar.gz Running Enable-3.0.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-JbcXFc/Enable-3.0.1/egg-dist-tmp-lGp7li Found executable /usr/bin/wx-config http://www.nabble.com/file/p19751175/python_log.txt python_log.txt -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-wxPython-and-wx-config-during-build-of-3… Sent from the Python - pythonmac-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
