Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Standalone exe on panther?

[Jiva D. <ji...@de...>]

I'm documenting this here in the hopes of saving some other clueless 
soul from similar troubles.

So, to build a stand-alone PyObjC application do the following:
	 1.  	Change your Build style to deployment. In XCode this is done by 
going into the properties of your project and, to the styles tab, and 
choosing deployment.
	 2.  	If you originally created your application from the PyObjC 
template, inside the frameworks and modules folder in your project, you 
will find the PyObjC folder. You need to add _Foundation.so to this 
folder. This file can be found in /Library/Python/2.3/PyObjC.
	 3.  	Finally, under your target you'll find a "Copy Files" step. 
Inside there are the same files that were in the PyObjC folder in your 
frameworks above. Drag-N-Drop the _Foundation.so from there to this 
folder as well.

This should enable you to build an application which will run at the 
very least on other panther machines. It might run on Jaguar, I don't 
know for sure. There may be an easier way to do this, if you know of an 
easier way, then please let me know. The size of all this isn't too bad 
either. What's a few extra megs between friends?

I have also put this up on my blog, http://www.devoesquared.com/Blog 
for anyone who wants to track it for changes.

If this is in an FAQ somewhere, someone please point me to it.  If it's 
not, well it should be. ;)
