Python / Build/Install on OS X

« on: May 25, 2009, 11:47:33 pm »

Hi,

Using setup.py on a mac I was getting errors when the extension module compilation reached the linker stage. Something like "library not found".  This is due to the linker option -l, which doesn't work when you're linking against frameworks.

Solution to install on OS X which worked for me:

1. Install compiled frameworks (per standard SDK documentation) to /Library/Frameworks

2. run "python setup.py build" with the following modfications to the file:

Code: [Select]


#!/usr/bin/env python
# coding=UTF-8

from distutils.core import setup, Extension

setup(name='PySFML',
version='1.4',
description='Python binding for SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library)',
author='Rémi Koenig',
author_email='remi.k2620@gmail.com',
url='http://www.sfml-dev.org/',
license='zlib/png',
ext_modules=[ Extension('PySFML.sf', \
['src/Clock.cpp', 'src/Color.cpp', 'src/Drawable.cpp', \
'src/Event.cpp', 'src/Image.cpp', 'src/Input.cpp', 'src/Key.cpp', 'src/main.cpp', \
'src/Music.cpp', 'src/PostFX.cpp', 'src/Rect.cpp', 'src/RenderWindow.cpp', 'src/Sleep.cpp', \
'src/Sprite.cpp', 'src/String.cpp', 'src/VideoMode.cpp', 'src/View.cpp', 'src/Window.cpp', \
'src/Joy.cpp', 'src/Mouse.cpp', 'src/WindowStyle.cpp', 'src/Blend.cpp', 'src/Sound.cpp', \
'src/SoundBuffer.cpp', 'src/Listener.cpp', 'src/SoundRecorder.cpp', 'src/SoundBufferRecorder.cpp', \
'src/SoundStream.cpp', 'src/Font.cpp', 'src/Glyph.cpp', 'src/Shape.cpp', 'src/WindowSettings.cpp' ], \
extra_link_args=[\
'-framework', 'sfml-graphics', \
'-framework', 'sfml-window', \
'-framework', 'sfml-audio', \
'-framework', 'sfml-system'], \
include_dirs=['../include']
)],
package_dir = {'PySFML':'PySFML'},
packages=['PySFML'],
)


3. then run "python setup.py install" as usual...

Hope that helps some other people who are having trouble. Took me a little while to figure out, as I'm not very familiar with distools yet.
