I've been playing for hours and finally have it so that python setup.py sdist python setup.by bdist_rpm work as expected. I have distributions and RPM's that I need to put somewhere. Thanks, -Travis

Building SciPy on Mac OS X Part II
by Tim Lahey July 25, 2001

July 25, 2001

All, As I mentioned in my previous message, I've been trying to patch Fortran compilation to support f2c. Unfortunately, after some work on patching both build_flib.py and the fc f2c script, I ran into several problems. 1. fc puts the files into the current directory. 2. The build process runs into problems with the space in the platform name which contains "Power Macintosh". In particular, ar has problems with the space. I think, I'll wait until gcc 3.0 on OS X. That will have g77 support. Cheers, Tim Lahey

Building SciPy on Mac OS X
by Tim Lahey July 25, 2001

All, I've decide that I'm going to tackle getting SciPy working on Mac OS X. So, my basic tasks are: 1. Patch Fortran compilation to support f2c. If I'm correct, I just have to modify build_flib.py to add the new class ? 2. Patch Other libraries as needed. So far I've found the following: In the Cephes module, I had to do the following: special/cephes/polmisc.c - replace malloc.h with stdlib.h special/cephes/polyn.c - replace malloc.h with stdlib.h Because malloc and free are defined in stdlib.h on OS X. 3. GIST won't compile so an alternate plotting library is necessary. I've been thinking of developing a plotting library on top of PyOpenGL. There are even some descriptions on getting postscript output (as a set of vector primitives) using the feedback buffer at: http://reality.sgi.com/mjk_asd/tips/Feedback.html Thoughts ? Suggestions ? Thanks, Tim Lahey
