Hi all,There's been a discussion over on the Image-sig about what the PIL web site should tell folks that want PIL for OS-X. There have simply been too many "I'm having trouble building PIL on OS-X" questions. I've suggested that the PIL website include binaries for the "best" versions of Python to support. Fredrik can't build them, but hopefullysomeone on this list can do it for him when a new PIL version comes out-- the 1.1.6 binary on pythonmac.org/packages is a good start.However, it's not so simple, 'cause of all the Python's out there. So myquestion is:Can we build a single binary installer for PIL that will work with BOTH Apple's Python2.5 that comes with OS-X 10.5 and MacPython2.5, UniversalFramework Build for OS-X 10.3.9 and above.
Not really, you'll have to provide two installers.BTW. What I'd like to see is a collection of recipes for building packages like this. That is, a Makefile/shell-script/python-script/... that will build all dependencies,
the package itself and an installer. That's the most annoying issue with the pythonmac.org repository: somepackages are non-trivial to rebuild (such as PyOpenGL 2.x) and there is no
indication whatsover of how they were build.That's not very interesting for users, until it is time to build a binary for the next
version and someone has to reinvent the proper build proces. Ronald
