There is an issue with custom icons on directories in the 2.5c2 installer,
don't set a custom icon on "/Applications/MacPython 2.5" for now.
Also make sure that the installer doesn't crap out when the Makefile in the
system's python installation has other customizations than we expect.
This adds a new key definition for OSX, which is slightly different from the
classic mac definition.
Also add NEWS item for a couple of bugfixes I added recently.
without causing problems for anyone that is on a case-insensitive filesystem).
Setup.py tries to compile the MacOS extension from MacOSmodule.c, while the
actual file is named macosmodule.c. This is no problem on the (default)
case-insensitive filesystem, but doesn't work on case-sensitive filesystems.
way the resulting binaries have a better change of running on 10.3.
This patch also updates the search logic for sleepycat db3/4, without this
patch you cannot use a sleepycat build with a non-standard prefix; with this
you can (at least on OSX) if you add the prefix to CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS at
configure-time. This change is needed to build the binary installer for OSX.
sys.exutable that isn't usuable on an #!-line. That results in generated
applets that don't actually work. Work around this problem by resetting
sys.executable.
* argvemulator.py didn't work on intel macs. This patch fixes this
(bug #1491468)
with --enable-framework
* Also for --enable-framework: allow users to use --prefix to specify
the location of the compatibility symlinks (such as /usr/local/bin/python)
- Some small bugfixes for the IDLE.app wrapper
- Tweaks to build-installer to ensure that python gets build in the right way,
including sqlite3.
- Updated readme files
This patches a file that is generated by bgen, however the code is now the
same as a current copy of bgen would generate. Without this patch most types
in the Carbon.CF module are unusable.
I haven't managed to coax bgen into generating a complete copy of _CFmodule.c
yet :-(, hence the manual patching.
* Don't use xcodebuild for building PythonLauncher, but use a normal unix
makefile. This makes it a lot easier to use the same build flags as for the
rest of python (e.g. make a universal version of python launcher)
* Convert the mac makefile-s to makefile.in-s and use configure to set makefile
variables instead of forwarding them as command-line arguments
* Add a C version of pythonw, that we you can use '#!/usr/local/bin/pythonw'
* Build IDLE.app using bundlebuilder instead of BuildApplet, that will allow
easier modification of the bundle contents later on.
