framework install of Python in your home directory (on OSX):
$ configure --enable-framework=${HOME}/Library/Frameworks
$ make && make install
Without this patch the framework would get installed just fine,
but 'make install' would try to install the application bundles
and command-line tools outside the user's home, which doesn't work
for non-admin users (and is bad form anyway).
to changes in how the BASECFLAGS and CFLAGS
variables get filled by configure.
The Mac/Makefile.in change ensures that
pythonw gets build with the rigth deployment
targets.
1) A non-critical off-by-one error in pythonw
2) A problem in the configure script that caused
builds with '--enable-framework --enable-universalsdk=/'
to fail on OSX 10.6.
(I asked the BDFL first, and he approved removing it. The last actual bugfix
to Tools/modulator was in 2001; since then all changes have been search-and-replace:
string methods, whitespace fixes, etc.)
- Issue #7714: Use ``gcc -dumpversion`` to detect the version of GCC on
MacOSX.
- Make configure look for util.h as well as libutil.h. The former
is the header file that on OSX contains the defition of openpty.
(Needed to compile for OSX 10.4 on OSX 10.6)
- Use the correct definition of CC to compile the pythonw executable
The previous implementation used execv(2) to run the real interpreter, which means that
you cannot use the arch(1) tool to select the architecture you want to use for a
universal build because that only affects the python/pythonw wrapper and not the actual
interpreter.
The new version uses posix_spawnv with a number of OSX-specific options that ensure that
the real interpreter is started using the same CPU architecture as the wrapper, and that
means that 'arch -ppc python' now actually works.
I've also changed the way that the wrapper looks for the framework: it is now linked to
the framework rather than hardcoding the framework path. This should make it easier to
provide pythonw support in tools like virtualenv.
/usr/local by default. Users can still choose to install files into /usr/local, but by
default we'll only install files in /Library/Framework/Python.framework and
/Applications/Python X.Y/
to that README file with some explanation.
* Be more strict in the configure script: complain loudly when the user has
specified invalid combinations of OSX-specific configure arguments.
The error message refers to the Mac/README file for more information.
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror" in both --with-pydebug mode and --without.
There's still a batch of non-prototype warnings in Xlib.h that I don't know how
to fix.
* Remove last traces of "MacPython"
* Add options to build different flavors of the installer
(still defaulting to a 2-way universal build that
runs on OSX 10.3)
