Hi Andi,

Python is normally installed as a framework on OS X, but it is
still Python 2.3.5. A PyLucene user recently said that PyLucene
works well with Python 2.3.5 since the threading bug preventing
Python 2.3 support with PyLucene is included in Python 2.3.5.
So here are various options:
- compile and link against the installed Python 2.3.5 framework
- use the Linux sections in the PyLucene Makefile as an example
to figure
out a Mac OS X framework-less configuration
- create a configure script for PyLucene that would support all
options
under the sun and then some (!)
What about editing the Makefile so that the default python is just
"python" (i.e. whichever's on the path), and then you can get the
prefix by doing this:
PYTHON=python
PREFIX_PYTHON=`$(PYTHON) -c "import sys; print sys.prefix" `
The only other change I think you'd need to make would be to change
the logic for the $(PYLUCENE_LIB) target so that the "Darwin" case
only runs if PREFIX_FRAMEWORKS is part of PREFIX_PYTHON. (Probably
could use a sub-string comparison...) I don't have Fink installed
either, but this should work correctly anywhere, and IMHO it's always
better to automatically get the value when possible. :-)
I do not have fink installed on my powerbook. Given the system
pollution rumors swirling around fink, I chose to install
darwinports instead.
I should be providing a Mac OS X python-darwinports section in
PyLucene's Makefile soon.
Just as a data point, I had problems when Fink was installed in the
past. ;-/ I tend to use darwinports if I do use one of those systems.
(But I usually just install from source; it's well supported and you
don't have to worry about the package/port doing something goofy
because the maintainer threw some hacks in, etc.)
Thanks,
Kevin
