the need for the out-of-tree universal binary support that was used to build the 2.4.3 installer. Missing here relative to that tree are some changes to IDLE, IMHO those patches aren't appropriate for the 2.4 branch and users are better of using 2.5's IDLE.

Building a MacPython distribution
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
The ``build-install.py`` script creates MacPython distributions, including
|
|
sleepycat db4, sqlite3 and readline support. It builds a complete
|
|
framework-based Python out-of-tree, installs it in a funny place with
|
|
$DESTROOT, massages that installation to remove .pyc files and such, creates
|
|
an Installer package from the installation plus other files in ``resources``
|
|
and ``scripts`` and placed that on a ``.dmg`` disk image.
|
|
|
|
Here are the steps you ned to follow to build a MacPython installer:
|
|
|
|
- Run ``./build-installer.py``. Optionally you can pass a number of arguments
|
|
to specify locations of various files. Please see the top of
|
|
``build-installer.py`` for its usage.
|
|
- When done the script will tell you where the DMG image is.
|
|
|
|
The script needs to be run on Mac OS X 10.4 with Xcode 2.2 or later and
|
|
the 10.4u SDK.
|
|
|
|
