The problem of building on OSX, in particular the setupext basedir search path including /sw, /usr and /usr/local, appears so fraught with peril -- we don't know what kinds of libs built with what kinds of flags that we will find -- that I removed all the dirs from the basedir for darwin. Instead, I am hoping that the new makefile.osx Makefile I have added, which will fetch and build the required libs and install them into the PREFIX of your choice, will prove more supportable.
I have tested this on a couple of platforms and it worked well, but there are other combinations that I do not have access to so please let me know if this is not viable. I am currently building with PREFIX=/Users/jdhunter/dev make -f makefile.osx fetch deps mpl_install Builds with enthought python make still be broken due to the issues in the FAQ: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#building-and-installing-from-source-on-osx-with-epd Please kick the tires and give some feedback JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
