Hello everyone,

I would like to compile libhid (because I couldn't find it already compiled) on mac os x 10.5.x. When I run configure it dies saying it can't link against my python lib and that it may be installed in an alternative location or that I need to install a dev version of python. I'm using the version shipped with 10.5, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you,
Gabriel


Here's some more info, it does this :

I looked at this line :

checking for Python library path... 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/config/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python

and that path doesn't exist, this one does though :

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/config/

and inside there is libpython2.5.a which is the static python lib, I tried 
doing as it said :

./configure 
LDFLAGS="-L/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/config/"

with no luck though.
Thank you,
Gabriel
