[Visualpython-users] Compiling VPython on Mac

[K.-Michael A. <mic...@sp...>]

Dear all, 
as it was written here, that the upgrade to boost-1.41 renders VPython compatible with Python2.6.4, I thought I give the compilation of VPython a first try.

1st question: 
Do I only need vpython-core2 from the cvs files? I can't find anywhere a hint on that.

2nd question: 
I managed to compile boost-1.41 successfully with the command line given in MAC-OSX.txt in vpython-core2.
I then copied boost_1_41_0/boost to vpython-core2/dependencies/boost_files (a folder i created there following the instruction of MAC-OSX.txt).
Next I copied all created libs in boost-1.41/stage/lib into vpython-core2/dependencies/boost_files/mac_libs
Is that all I need to have there before starting next step?

3rd question:
Having executed 
'sudo make setup' in src/mac resulted in access rights failure when executing the next step 'make install' in the ../mbuild directory. So I compiled with 'sudo make install'. Is that okay?

4th question:
The compilation went along awhile but then stopped with the following error:

/usr/bin/g++ -fPIC -MMD -DNDEBUG -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -arch i386 -DPIC -O2 -g -finline-functions -I../vpython-core2/include/mac -I../vpython-core2/include -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6 -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I../vpython-core2//dependencies/boost_files -I../vpython-core2//dependencies/threadpool/include -F/System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework -F/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework -F/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework   -c -o render_manager.o ../vpython-core2//src/core/util/render_manager.cpp

Yes, this is the roadblock I too ran into when attempting to build on 
the Mac. You seem to have done everything correctly. It is not known how 
to address the problem, which is serious, because at the moment it seems 
impossible to build for the latest version of Python on the Mac.

Re: [Visualpython-users] Compiling VPython on Mac

[Mirko B. <mir...@ie...>]

I built boost 1.35 with a patch from svn that makes the incompatibility with
python > 2.6.2 disappear (you don't get the "object attribute '__doc__' is
read-only" error when importing the visual module). Although on my machine
visual still does not work (see my other email), I believe that just
replacing the libs in the mac_libs folder with the ones that I built might
be a solution for most people. If Bruce is interested I can email him the
binaries, and if that works for him he can just repackage the dependencies
zip files.
