Here are the steps you ned to follow to build a MacPython installer:
|
||||
Prerequisites
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Run ``./build-installer.py``. Optionally you can pass a number of arguments
|
||||
to specify locations of various files. Please see the top of
|
||||
* A MacOS X 10.4 (or later)
|
||||
|
||||
* XCode 2.2 (or later), with the universal SDK
|
||||
|
||||
* No Fink (in ``/sw``) or DarwinPorts (in ``/opt/local``), those could
|
||||
interfere with the build.
|
||||
|
||||
* The documentation for the release must be available on python.org
|
||||
because it is included in the installer.

The Recipe
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the steps you need 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.
|
||||
Running this script takes some time, I will not only build Python itself
|
||||
but also some 3th-party libraries that are needed for extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
* When done the script will tell you where the DMG image is (by default
|
||||
somewhere in ``/tmp/_py``).
|
||||
|
||||
Testing
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
The resulting binaries should work on MacOSX 10.3.9 or later. I usually run
|
||||
the installer on a 10.3.9, a 10.4.x PPC and a 10.4.x Intel system and then
|
||||
run the testsuite to make sure.
