building wxPython on Mac OS X (10.5)

[grossetti]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build wx on Mac OS X by following this tutorial :
http://www.wxpython.org/BUILD.html

I did the following :

cd Python-2.5.4
mkdir ../Python-Mac-Root
/configure --prefix=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root \
                --with-suffix=.mine --enable-shared --with-threads
make && make install

cd ../wxPython-src-2.8.10.1
/configure --prefix=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root \
                --with-mac --enable-geometry --enable-display \
                --enable-unicode --with-libjpeg=builtin \
                --with-libpng=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin \
                --with-zlib=builtin
make && make install

cd wxPython
/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/python.mine setup.py build_ext \
         --inplace BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 BUILD_STC=0 BUILD_GIZMOS=0 \
        WX_CONFIG=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/wx-config

and everything goes well. My question is that I don't want to have to
set PYTHONPATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH because I'd like for this to be
self contained and not have env. variables to set (just unzip and use,
like PortablePython on windows). Also, on the wx that's installed with
my real python installation I don't have those env variables defined
and it still works, so could someone please help me with this?

Thank you,
Gabriel

Ok, I'd forgotten to run the install step so it wasn't in my
site-packages. :

/Users/grossetti/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/python.mine setup.py install
--prefix=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root
WX_CONFIG=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/wx-config

I tried to export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH :

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/lib to see if
it at least works like that but I get the following error :

$ Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/python.mine

information.

I don't get it, I did the following :

| grep __ZN12wxSizerFlags24ReserveSpaceEvenIfHiddenEv

so it's there, any ideas?

If I export PYTHONPATH :

export
PYTHONPATH=/Users/me/Desktop/python_client_deps/wxPython-src-2.8.10.1/wxPython

What I don't get is why the installed version doesn't get picked up in
site-packages. It has a wx.path in site-packages :

$ cat /Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx.pth
wx-2.8-mac-unicode

so I don't get why it's not getting picked up, any ideas?

I tried :

$ otool -L
/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_core_.so

and I get :

/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_core_.so:
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version
7.4.0)
        /usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.8.0.dylib (compatibility version 2.6.0, current
version 2.8.4)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/QuickTime
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1327.73.0)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 275.0.0)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Carbon
(compatibility version 2.0.0, current version 136.0.0)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 12.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
111.1.4)
        /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
1.0.0)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 34.0.0)

it appears linked with the wrong version of
/usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.8.0.dylib, is that correct? If so, how can I fix
it?

Thanks

Yes.

Double check the wxWidgets build and install steps.  It should have used
your {prefix}/lib path for the wxMac lib but it fell back to the one
distributed by Apple in /usr/lib instead.  Hmm...  You didn't use
--enable-monolithic in your configure step, that's probably the problem.

Note that the path to the dylib is embedded in the extension module .so
so even when you get this working at your install locations there will
still be issues with having something self contained that can be zipped
up and unzipped elsewhere.  To work around that you're either going to
have to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or you can use install_name_tool to change
the embedded path name.  You can make that embedded name be relative to
the executable or the image loading the dylib (the .so extension modules
in this case) by using "@executable_path" or "@loader_path" in the path
name.

Ok, I ran it again and it works now, I must have made a mistake
somewhere. I didn't use --enable-monolithic though

Ok, thanks for the tip :-)
