Building wxPython on Mac OS X
-----------------------------


These are the steps I have used for building wxPython on Mac OS X 10.x
with the Apple Developer Tools, a.k.a the Darwin version.  I assume
that you know your way around a command line and that you know how to
get things from various CVS repositories as needed.


1. "MacPython-OSX" 2.3 is required.  There is a disk image with an
   installer package in the wxPython Sourceforge download area, in
   this group:

   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10718&release_id=84730

   If, for some reason you need to build your own Python, get the
   source from www.python.org and follow the instructions in the
   Mac/OSX/README file to build and install the Python.framework and
   Python tools.

   One last thing, make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH
   environment variable since that is where the new python and pythonw
   commands will be located.


2. In a wxWindows CVS tree make a build directory.  (You can also use
   a CVS snapshot located in http://wxwindows.org/snapshots/ or the
   released wxPythonSrc-*.tr.gz archive.)

	cd ~/proj/wxWindows	# or wherever you put it
	mkdir build

3. Run configure from that build directory.

        cd build
	../configure --with-mac --with-opengl --enable-debug

4. Make and install wxMac.

	make
	sudo make install

5. Build and install wxPython.

	cd ../wxPython
	python setup.py build install

6. Test.  Just navigate in the Finder to the demo directory and double
   click demo.py, or simple.py, or whatever you want to run.  Or from
   a command line you can run it this way:

	cd demo
	pythonw demo.py

7. Figure out what's wrong, figure out how to fix it, and then send
   the patches to me.  <wink>
