[Matplotlib-users] Building current SVN trunk on Mac OS X 10.5

[Uri L. <las...@mi...>]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build the latest svn trunk version of MPL on OS X 10.5.  I am
getting the following error:

ld: in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/local/lib/libPng.dylib, file is
not of required architecture for architecture ppc

After googling quite a bit, this seems to be quite a common problem.
However, I could still not find an unambiguous solution.  I have build
libpng from source on my machine.  The file output is:
laserson@hobbes:/usr/local/lib$ file libpng*
libpng.3.dylib:   Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
libpng.a:         current ar archive random library
libpng.dylib:     Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
libpng.la:        ASCII English text
libpng12.0.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
libpng12.a:       current ar archive random library
libpng12.dylib:   Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
libpng12.la:      ASCII English text

It appears that the compiler expects that libpng will also have libraries
for ppc.  What do I do?  Do I need to rebuild libpng to be universal?  (How
is this done?)  Or do I need to somehow tell distutils to build MPL only for
i386?  (How is thid done?)

Below is the full build output.  Thanks for your help!
