I would like to install wxWidgets and wxpython and start python gui programming.
So I install python27... ok I try py27-wxpython: no go; it claims wxWidgets cannot install on ppc: ------ Error msg I get: sudo port install py27-wxpython Password: Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider using selfupdate ---> Computing dependencies for py27-wxpython Error: Cannot install py27-wxpython for the arch(s) 'i386' because Error: its dependency wxWidgets does not build for the required arch(s) by default Error: and does not have a universal variant. Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> ------- End error msg. So I poke around in the list of ports and come across wxWidgets-python, which in fact says in the port file that it is mean for py**-wxpython. Installing that... works fine (I use the Carbon variant since I run on Tiger/PPC). I now have python27 installed as well as wxWidgets-python. However, py27-wxpython still won't install. I try port -f to see if I could force the issue, but no. Same error as above. (Note that the error msg. is slightly confusing, but it does try to build for ppc but can't get wxWidgets). It is true that wxWidgets' portfile seems to require i386 so I am out of luck there; but why is wxWidgets-python not enough?? Thanks for any insight. Again, this OS X 10.4.11 on PPC.
