I built Universal jpeg-6b, freetype2, and zlib for my current project of Universal PIL. I can add libpng in easily so I'll do it. So that makes jpeg, png, freetype, and zlib. What else? On the other topic... I have successfully packaged up a Universal PIL for 2.4 (thanks for the tips Bob;-). Packaged--not tested yet on PPC and Intel so I am closer to releasing it. However, it isn't including the libs so I am studying py2app and bdist_mpkg nuances to figure out how to package them all in one installer. Once I get this done, I'll post it the instructions for hand building in the wiki and the all-in-one plus a separate Universal libs package on my iDisk. I am also trying to see if I can make a quick and dirty shell script using curl, sed, and toehr tools to create a one-button build and install but that is after the above. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
