-----Original Message----- From: visualpython-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:visualpython-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Martin Costabel Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2005 9:49 AM To: Visualpython-users Subject: [Visualpython-users] Visualpython 3.2.1 for Mac OSX 10.4 now in Fink There is now a Fink package for vpython version 3.2.1. If you have Fink installed on Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger) and the unstable tree enabled, you can get it via: fink selfupdate fink install visual-py23 This will download and build vpython and all necessary prerequisites. It doesn't build a special version of gcc, apparently the ones that are in OSX 10.4.2 and Xcode-tools-2.1 are good enough (or at least I didn't come across the bugs they still may have). There are actually 2 variants, visual-py23 and visual-py24. Which one you want to install depends mainly on the versions of the dependencies you perhaps already have installed: python, numarray, numeric. Both variants can be installed simultaneously, there are no conflicts, and the dependencies are chosen and built automatically. The binary executables are called vpython2.3 and vpython2.4, respectively. When fink asks you at the beginning of the build process to choose whether you want to install boost1.32-py23 or boost1.32-py24, you can choose either one if you have the corresponding version of Fink's python installed, they are identical. If you don't have Fink's python installed yet, choose the version that corresponds to the version of visual you are going to install, or otherwise you will end up building two versions of python. This is no problem, however, except for compilation time, both versions of python coexist peacefully (not both variants of boost1.32-pyXY, however). -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Visualpython-users mailing list Visualpython-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/visualpython-users
