Pygame 1.9.1 / OS X 10.6 / Python 2.7

[Nakor]

Here is how I installed pygame 1.9.1 on Mac OS X 10.6 with Python 2.7.x

1) Install Python 2.7 from http://www.python.org/getit/ (be sure to get the OS X 10.6 version)
1.5) Update your shell's environment to pick the correct version by default by running Update Shell Profile.command in the /Applications/Python27/ directory. Make sure your shell is properly configured:

Code: Select all

python --version

2) Get and copy the following frameworks to /Library/Frameworks/:

http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.14.dmg (or a newer 1.2.x version. Note that you need at least 1.2.14 for it to work properly)
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_imag ... 1.2.10.dmg (or newer 1.2.x version. You need at least 1.2.10 though!)
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/ ... 2.0.10.dmg (or newer 2.0.x version)
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixe ... 1.2.11.dmg (or newer 1.2.x version)

3) Get and install the latest numpy release for Mac/Python2.7 from
http://numpy.scipy.org/

4) Get and install the latest libjpeg and libpng binaries from
http://ethan.tira-thompson.com/Mac_OS_X_Ports.html

4.5) Apparently, you need to delete the links to the dynamic version of these libraries before building; otherwise your pygame build will have dependencies that will make deploying your app difficult. You can always re-create the links if needed. I did this:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/lib
sudo rm libjpeg.dylib
sudo rm libpng.dylib


5) Get the pygame release
http://pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.1release.tar.gz

Code: Select all

tar xvzf pygame-1.9.1release.tar.gz
cd pygame-1.9.1release.tar.gz
python config.py


You should see this:

Code: Select all

Hunting dependencies...
Framework SDL found
Framework SDL_ttf found
Framework SDL_image found
Framework SDL_mixer found
Framework smpeg not found
PNG     : found
JPEG    : found
SCRAP   : not found
PORTMIDI: not found
Framework CoreMidi found


Now you're ready to build and install.

Code: Select all

sudo python setup.py install

I followed these instructions, and got the same results from the "python config.py" step, but got an error from the final install step.

SDL.framework (version 1.2.14) is definitely there in /Library/Frameworks. Any idea what could be wrong?

Before I decided to "roll my own" procedure, I was following this procedure. It didn't take long to run into trouble, but I may have had my shell already setup as described at the top part, specifically:

Code: Select all

export CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.0' CFLAGS='-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch i386'
export LDFLAGS='-arch i386'
export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386'

I honestly don't know if that will make a difference or not, but it's something to try.

[jwwalker]

No joy. In fact it's still using GCC 4.2 and the 10.6 SDK in spite of these environment variables. Thanks for trying.

[Nakor]

Hmm. Unfortunately I'm a neophyte when it comes to the OS X build environment. If I have time this weekend, I'll try to repeat my procedure and see if I can discover anything.

jwwalker, i encountered the exact same problem (config.py running fine but build can't find framework) trying to install pygame on python 3.2 for mac using the following link: http://programming.itcarlow.ie/PyGameInstall.pdf

did you manage to solve the problem?
