Re: [pygame] help: how to make a mac osx installer?

["Brian Fisher" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's no libpng dylib in the sdl_image framework - I think sdl_image is including libpng as a static lib. The same dylib-free SDL_image framework should be what my 2.4 install on the same computer is using and it can load .png's fine, which is what leads me to think that. Also the error is when loading the .so, not when loading the framework as far as I can tell.  I actually think the best thing would be to have imageext include libpng as a static lib as well - as opposed to statically link to a dylib. It's an error free approach in terms of stuff like this, and should just be a matter of what libpng.a you link to.

Thanks.

yeah, it should be in there... I'll double check next time I'm on the
dev mac.  Unless you can check it first?

Strange, that I didn't get that when I tried the installer, on a fresh 10.4 mac.

The installer in bdist_mpkg_support.py looks for frameworks only, not
dylib modules.  So I think maybe the libpng is being linked in from
the wrong place.

Can you please check to see if the libpng.3.dylib file is in the
SDL_image framework?  /Library/Frameworks/SDL_image/


cheers,
