Building a MacPython distribution
|
||
|
|
=================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ``build-install.py`` script creates MacPython distributions, including
|
||
|
|
sleepycat db4, sqlite3 and readline support. It builds a complete
|
||
|
|
framework-based Python out-of-tree, installs it in a funny place with
|
||
|
|
$DESTROOT, massages that installation to remove .pyc files and such, creates
|
||
|
|
an Installer package from the installation plus other files in ``resources``
|
||
|
|
and ``scripts`` and placed that on a ``.dmg`` disk image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are the steps you ned to follow to build a MacPython installer:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Run ``./build-installer.py``. Optionally you can pass a number of arguments
|
||
|
|
to specify locations of various files. Please see the top of
|
||
|
|
``build-installer.py`` for its usage.
|
||
|
|
- When done the script will tell you where the DMG image is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script needs to be run on Mac OS X 10.4 with Xcode 2.2 or later and
|
||
|
|
the 10.4u SDK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
