Just a note -- this did NOT "just work" the other day for me -- it found the freetype libs that OS-X has in the X11 build, but didn't like them at compile time. I haven't debugged it yet, sorry. But the real trick here is what you want to build: which OS-X versions do you want to support? which architectures? which Python Build(s)? What I've been planning on doing is setting up a gitHub (or something) project for building the various dependencies that various python packages need -- there are a few that are broadly used: libpng, libfreetype (used by MPL, PIL, wxPython, ???). The idea is that if you wanted to build MPL (or PIL, or ???) you'd grab the MacPyton_Dependencies project, build it, then go from there. Anyone want to help? It just feels like we are all repeating each-others work a LOT here! NOTE: the big issues come up if you want to build binaries that are re-distributable (as a package, or with py2app, or???). In this case, you need binaries that can run on perhaps older machines than the one you're building on, or a different architecture. Building to run on the machine it's built-on is a lot easier. (particularly with macport or homebrew) -CHB and obviously that will be shared with the world. > Things are even more complex on Windows, and I'd like to do that there, too. > So stay tuned. > > Mike > > > On 08/16/2013 10:02 AM, Paul Hobson wrote: > > Mike, > > That's great news.
