OK. So I see it this way:
For the "MacPython" build (2.5.2, runs on OS-X 10.3.9 and above), we need:
libpng
libfreetype
libjpeg
others?
For Apple's 2.5 build that comes with leopard, we need:
libjpeg
(freetype and png can come from X11)
Is that right? Or should we just use our own for Apple's build too?
William, what do you think of my idea of trying to get distributors to
standardize on your Frameworks?
I haven't gotten any feedback yet, but I now some folks would rather not
have any dependencies, even if they are easy to install. However, it
really is a big 'ol pain in the *&^& to build universal versions of all
these various libs. Would you consider adding static libs to your
Frameworks so that we could at least tell distributor that they can just
install a couple Frameworks and have all the static libs they need?
