Sorry if I'm out of the loop here, but with Apple's new chip coming out, we need new a build configuration (which I think has already been started, if not done).
Perhaps we could take this opportunity to better modularize / unify the build setup? As it was last I checked, you really had only two options: 1) Ignore anything mac specific, and get a "unix" build. 2) Get a full "Framework" build, optionally with Universal support. It would be nice to keep the Framework structure independent of the Mac-specific features, if possible. In particular, I'd love to get be able to get the "pythonw" executable wrapper in an otherwise standard unix build [*]. It would also be nice if it were possible to get universal binaries in a "unix style" build. (option 3 would be to simply abandon the Framework Build altogether -- it's still not clear to me what this really buys mac users) Any chance of this happening? I'm afraid I know nothing of autoconf, so can't be much help, but I'd be willing to help out with testing, or documenting, or anything else that I have the skills to do. Thanks, -Chris [*] The pythonw issue has been a thorn in the side of conda for years. conda uses a standard unix build on the Mac, for consistency with other unix systems. But there is no configuration set up to build the pythonw wrapper outside of a "Framework" build. So instead, conda has creates its own "pythonw" wrapper -- but that is a bash script that re-directs to a different executable. This works fine on the command line (or #! line), but it does not work with setuptools' entry_points. And the setuptools community hasn't shown any interest in hacking around it. Anyway, few enough people develop Desktop apps (particularly with conda) so this has lingered, but it would be nice to fix. -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
