However, that doesn't seem to work if I have libfreetype.dylib somewhere standard, and I certainly don't want to remove it! (Maybe I could temporarily, but that's hardly the robust solution I'm looking for)
Change the paths that distutils will add to the link line. They're at the top of setupext.py . Remove the ones you don't need.
By the way, it would also be good to get this to work with TK and/or GTK. Has anyone done that successfully that would like to help out with this?
With TclTkAqua, it Just Works.
Also, as far as PyGTK is concerned. Can you run it without running Fink? That's the only way I've seen it done. If it is a Fink only option, then this is moot, as I'm looking for a Fink free approach, and someone else has put together a fink matplotlib package.
You could try Darwinports. Set Darwinports' prefix to /usr/local, and use port(1) to make Installer.app packages for GTK et al. Bundle them with your bdist_mpkg metapackage.
My strategy for building matplotlib (and I've done it *a lot* in the past few weeks) is as follows:
I have Darwinports with a prefix in a GNU Stow repository. What Stow does is it allows you to install stuff into it's own directory (/usr/local/stow/darwinports, which has bin/, lib/, share/ et al.) and then makes symlinks such that everything appears to be installed to /usr/local. So I have Darwinports install libpng and libfreetype. I have a script that will remove the symlinks to the dylibs for libpng, libfreetype, and libz (I could probably resolve this by changing the order of search). I build matplotlib and double-check the dylib dependencies with "otool -L". I do not bother with GTK at this time.
