success… pythonnet running in maya on osx64bit It took a good amount of hacking. But it does work.
I'm going to work on wrapping all my changes and fixes into a patch or two. However, some general notes: You need to build your own mono in 64 bit mode, because they don't ship a precompiled 64bit mono for OSX currently. I found it easiest to make a custom Portfile for macports, to do this. Basic instructions can be found on the mono project's website. pythonnet desperately needs a configure script. Most of what I've been doing is ripping out a lot of pkg-config stuff that is making assumptions about python and mono locations. Apparently, someone put a whole bunch of hard-coded ubuntu paths in there. Once I've finished doing that, I can actually do what I need to do. Which is tell the build system where my 64bit mono is, and which python to use. in my case that's: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/my/mono/pkgconfig make PYTHON=/Applications/Autodesk/maya2013/Maya.app/Contents/bin/mayapy The makefiles themselves should not be finding mono-2 and glib-2.0. They should assume them to be available to pkg-config already. Finding them is something for a configure script. And I'd argue it probably should set the python as well. I had to hack up Python.Runtime.dll.config and tell it to "link" to "maya" rather than some form of "python26." Python is statically linked into maya, as it is with a lot of 3rd party embedded python implementations. The symbols it wants to link to, are in the maya binary, not a shared library. So from a build system point of view, I'm thinking the two big takeaways are: it REALLY needs a configure script. Python.Runtime.dll.config probably needs to be generated as part of the build process and listen to the configure script as to where to point itself. If I know where to point it to, during the build, I should be able to configure that as part of the build process. Anyhow. Those are my thoughts. I'll try and send off some patches once I do some cleaning up. -brad _________________________________________________ Python.NET mailing list - PythonDotNet@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythondotnet
