an Installer package from the installation plus other files in ``resources``
and ``scripts`` and placed that on a ``.dmg`` disk image.
Here are the steps you ned to follow to build a MacPython installer:
Prerequisites
-------------
- Run ``./build-installer.py``. Optionally you can pass a number of arguments
to specify locations of various files. Please see the top of
* A MacOS X 10.4 (or later)
* XCode 2.2 (or later), with the universal SDK
* No Fink (in ``/sw``) or DarwinPorts (in ``/opt/local``), those could
interfere with the build.
* The documentation for the release must be available on python.org
because it is included in the installer.
The Recipe
----------
Here are the steps you need to follow to build a MacPython installer:
* Run ``./build-installer.py``. Optionally you can pass a number of arguments
to specify locations of various files. Please see the top of
``build-installer.py`` for its usage.
- When done the script will tell you where the DMG image is.
The script needs to be run on Mac OS X 10.4 with Xcode 2.2 or later and
the 10.4u SDK.
Running this script takes some time, I will not only build Python itself
but also some 3th-party libraries that are needed for extensions.
* When done the script will tell you where the DMG image is (by default
somewhere in ``/tmp/_py``).
Testing
-------
The resulting binaries should work on MacOSX 10.3.9 or later. I usually run
the installer on a 10.3.9, a 10.4.x PPC and a 10.4.x Intel system and then
run the testsuite to make sure.
Announcements
-------------
(This is mostly of historic interest)
When all is done, announcements can be posted to at least the following
