So far I've had no luck building portmidi--either the current release or the trunk you provided. I get tons of errors that suggest fundamental .h files aren't being found. (And yes, I do have CMake installed and running). I suspect this is because the xcode project file was saved with too recent a version of xcode (as it reports when I open it in XCode).
Also, it has no PPC target (based on opening the project on my main 10.6.8 machine). That will cause trouble with python.org's 32-bit python. I don't use xcode so I'm not sure how easy it would be to add a PPC target. Another option is to try an older version of portmidi, though I doubt users who rely on portmidi would want to go too far back. If somebody wants to provide me a 32-bit intel+PPC static portmidi library, compatible with 10.4 and later, I'll use it. Or you can try more complete instructions (including minimum version of XCode and MacOS X on which to attempt the build) and I'll see if I can find time to go that route. -- Russell On Oct 24, 2011, at 2:31 PM, René Dudfield (by way of "Russell E.
