Hi all,
See my previous message about building matplotlib on OS-X. Now that I've done that, I need to give it to some of my coworkers that don't have the dev tools installed, and are aghast at the idea of typing ./configure; make, make install.
So, how do I make a binary distro? I know I can get distutils to do it, but it won't included the needed extra libs:
freetype libpng zlib
It seems I have three options:
1) Just give them a tarball of the compiled libs, ready to be dropped into /usr/local (I don't like that option, what If I clobber something?)
2) Somehow put the libs inside the matplotlib distro
3) Statically link those libs into the matplotlib extensions
I have no idea how to do 2 or 3, but could probably figure it out.
What do folks suggest? Any pointers?
Also, what's up with the Packman databases? I think I saw a note from Bob saying he isn't maintaining his. Jack, are you maintaining yours? If either of these is being maintained, how would I get matplotlib into it?
thanks, -Chris
