GTK Python bindings for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

Following my previous post we are now ready to compile and install the python bindings in order to have UMIT ready to go.

we start with pygobject which is cursed by Murphy's law. At the first attempt I got make stopped by an error message, that could be fixed by telling which python version we would like to use (one more time thanks to macports).

wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygobject/2.14/pygobject-2.14.1.tar.bz2
tar -jxf pygobject-2.14.1.tar.bz2
cd pygobject-2.14.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-glibtest CFLAGS="-arch i686" PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.5
make
sudo make install

next pycairo:

wget http://cairographics.org/releases/pycairo-1.4.12.tar.gz
tar -zxf pycairo-1.4.12.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr/local CFLAGS="-arch i686" PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.5
make
sudo make install

and finally pygtk:

wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/pygtk/2.12/pygtk-2.12.1.tar.bz2
tar -jxf pygtk-2.12.1.tar.bz2
cd pygtk-2.12.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local CFLAGS="-arch i686" PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.5
make
sudo make install

that's the end of our saga. You can now enjoy UMIT on your Mac OS :)
