| You might want to try this binary installer: which requires python.org's 64-bit python 2.7 (the one labelled "10.6") My build notes are appended. I built it using: - Mac OS X 10.6 (the oldest OS that works with python.org's 64-bit python, for maximum backward compatibility) - python.org 64-bit python 2.7.3 - SDL 1.2.15 - SDL image 1.2.12 - SDL mixer 1.2.12 - SDL ttf 2.0.11 I haven't heavily tested it (I just use it to play sound cues) and I haven't tried MacOS X 10.8. I would be very interested to hear how well it works for you. Regards, -- Russell Building pygame 1.9.1 on Mac OS X 10.6 using XCode 3.2.6 2012-04-12 I was building this for a binary distribution that would run against python.org's 64-bit Python 2.7.2, for use on Mac OS X 10.6 and later. * Install dependencies: - libjpeg (use ./configure, make, sudo make install) - SDL and extra packages (use precompiled framework builds): - SDL - SDL_mixer - SDL_image - SDL_ttf - portmidi (use CMake as per the instructions) * Delete shared libraries in /usr/local/lib (if you want to build a binary installer that can be used elsewhere). * Check for /usr/local/lib/portmidi.a and if not found, make it a symlink from /usr/local/lib/portmidi_s.a or whatever portmidi got installed. * Modify config_darwin.py to include '/usr/X11/include' and '/usr/X11/lib': incdirs = ['/usr/X11/include', '/usr/local/include'] libdirs = ['/usr/X11/lib/', '/usr/local/lib'] (since libpng and libfreetype are standard in /usr/X11) * Configure pygame and make sure it finds everything: python config.py As of 2012-04-12 on Mac OS X 10.6 I found that png was NOT found. I have no idea why, but I went ahead and installed it manually. Also SCRAP is not found, but apparently that is normal for Mac OS X. * Build pygame normally python setup.py build bdist_mpkg (or sudo python setup.py install if you don't want a binary installer) |
