[Pythonmac-SIG] Installing PIL

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi,

since there was no appropriate binary package/egg for Python 2.6 on
OSX 10.4/PPC, I tried to compile from source but did run into some
dependency problems:
PIL took some libs from my MacPorts installation (/opt/local/) that
were incompatible to some it took from the OSX SDKs, and it couldn't
find libraries that were installed with X11 (XQuartz 2.5.0 on x.org
1.7.6).
I just changed the include paths in setup.py, and this order works best for me:

        elif sys.platform == "darwin":
            add_directory(library_dirs, "/usr/local/lib")
            add_directory(library_dirs, "/usr/X11R6/lib/")
            add_directory(include_dirs, "/usr/X11R6/include")
            add_directory(library_dirs,
"/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/lib")
            add_directory(include_dirs,
"/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include")
            add_directory(library_dirs,
"/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/usr/lib")
            add_directory(include_dirs,
"/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/usr/include")
            add_directory(library_dirs, "/opt/local/lib")
            add_directory(include_dirs, "/opt/local/include")

HTH someone else.
