This paragraph is valid for 10.2 through 10.2.2, so if you -have a later version of Jaguar your mileage may vary. - -1. /usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile has an erronuous reference to - building for intel processors. Edit the file with sudo, and change - the line - LDFLAGS= -arch i386 -arch ppc - to - LDFLAGS= -arch ppc -2. /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages is not writeable except by root. - Make it writeable by administrators by doing - sudo chgrp admin /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages - sudo chmod g+w /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages - Alternatively you can do the make's below as superuser, but I - would advise against this. - -Building --------- - -Typing "make -f Makefile.jaguar" will build and install almost everything you need. -If you also want the "pythonw" unix program, which allows you to run GUI scripts from -a Terminal window, you should also do "sudo make -f Makefile.jaguar install_pythonw". - -What do you get ---------------- - -After the make you will have a folder /Applications/MacPython-OSX that contains the -IDE and BuildApplet applications. Also, you will find a folder "python-additions" there -that contains the MacPython-specific additions to your installed Python. The only thing -that is installed outside the /Applications/MacPython-OSX folder is -/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/MacPython.pth, which is the magic file that will make -python find the new modules. - -Uninstalling ------------- -1. Remove /Applications/MacPython-OSX -2. Remove /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/MacPython.pth - -How does it work? ------------------ - -Makefile.jaguar does most of the work by calling on Makefile (which is normally used -to build the Mac extensions for a framework-based python) after setting various -variables such that everything is built for /usr/bin/python. Some extension modules -(that are included in framework python 2.3a0, but missing from static python 2.2) -are built with setup.py. And some Carbon modules are built to replace their 2.2 -versions, which lack required functionality. The stubs in Mac/Lib/Carbon know about -this overriding. - |
