packaging inkscape aqua

[herrdeh]

Hello friends,

I happened to find the inscructions for building an Mac OS X .app package. So I tried to use the osx-app.sh script to build an incscape aqua app in order to share it, but ended up with a message as follows:

Directory does not appear to contain the i386 and ppc python modules

So I tried to run the script with the -py option, but cannot find out for which python components I do have to look. Nor do I know whether I do have enough python installed; a "sudo port installed" shows:

py26-libxml2 @2.6.21_0 (active)

python26 @2.6.2_4+darwin (active)

I guess the python26 thing is it - but how will the script find the necessary components?

Some hints would be appreciated (-;

Greetings,

Wolf

Note 1: I don't know about particularities on Tiger or regarding the
Aqua build, I only have limited experience with building the (intel)
X11-based Inkscape.app from SVN.

steps to include precompiled python modules into the app bundle:
1) download the prebuilt Python packages from
<http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Python-packages.dmg>
(as mentioned on both wiki pages
<http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX#Pre-compiling_the_Python_modules>,
<http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/GettingEffectsWorking#on_Mac_OS_X>)
2) unpack them somewhere near your Inkscape source tree
3) call osx-app.sh similar to this:
'./osx-app.sh -py /your_path_to_the_unpacked_/Python-packages'

Note 2: 'Python-packages.dmg' doesn't contain the most recent versions
of the included modules lxml and numpy, but it works for me with
Inkscape 0.46-2 and 0.47pre* and SVN builds. If it doesn't include
modules that match your installed Python version and arch (intel or
ppc), you'll need to pre-compile the Python modules yourself as
described on the wiki page 'CompilingMacOsX'

Note 3: If you didn't install the MacPorts tree into a path with more
then 50 characters you will see an error message at the end of running
osx-app.sh and need to change the launch script accordingly. More info
in earlier messages on this list
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/31153/focus=31307>
and in bug #392693 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/392693>)

(tip: did you try './osx-app.sh --help'? And reading it ('open -a
textedit osx-app.sh') provides more info in its comments - it's just a
shell script)

I never managed to bundle the app without feeding the script a path to
python modules and I only succeeded with the site-packages from modevia
(mentioned in previous messge). I didn't bother again because once you
have the app built you can use the python binary and modules installed
in MacPorts with Inkscape.app (you might have to adjust $PATH and
$PYTHONPATH in the launch script 'Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape' but
AFAIU it's already set up to include the default MacPorts path
'/opt/local/bin'). You can test it by renaming the
'Contents/Resources/python' folder - Inkscape then should fall back to
the MacPorts installed python+modules (in '/opt/local') or - as last
resort - to any modules added to the system-installed Python Framework)

these ports I have installed for Python 2.6:

  python26 @2.6.2_4 (active)
  python_select @0.2.1_0+darwin_9 (active)

  py26-libxml2 @2.6.21_0 (active)
  py26-lxml @2.2.2_0 (active)
  py26-nose @0.11.1_0 (active)
  py26-numeric @24.2_0+macosx (active)
  py26-numpy @1.3.0_0 (active)
  py26-pil @1.1.6_0 (active)
  py26-reportlab @2.3_0 (active)
  py26-setuptools @0.6c9_0 (active)

(for Inkscape you definitely need lxml and numpy, pil and reportlab are
needed for UniConverter, the others - libxml2, nose, numeric etc. came
as dependencies ;-)
