Victory!

I patched SIP to compile as a bundle, with no direct link to Python.
Rebuild PyQt and it followed. Rebuild Qgis, and the qgis-python modules
are also now correct.

Then, changed libqgispython to drop the full path to Python binary (I built
with system Python).

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the effort!


I didn't find a way to submit a bug report with Riverbank, so I left a patch on their mailing list. No reply so far, so I don't know if anyone is looking at it.

For those Mac users that want to try it themselves (compile from source, that is), here is what I did:

You must start over with SIP to get the changes to trickle into PyQt and Qgis. In the SIP source, siputils.py, ModuleMakefile().finalise(), change:

self.LFLAGS.append("-F%s" % string.join(dl, os.sep))
self.LFLAGS.append("-framework Python")

to:

self.LFLAGS.append("-undefined dynamic_lookup")

Then reconfigure and compile SIP (with the build instructions in the Qgis wiki). Then reconfigure and compile PyQt.

Now configure, compile and install Qgis.

Finally fix the Qgis python library link - assuming you configured for the default /Applications prefix:

sudo install_name_tool -change /path/to/python/framework Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python /Applications/qgis1.0.0.app/ Contents/MacOS/lib/libqgispython.dylib

You can check the python path as compiled with:

otool -L /Applications/qgis1.0.0.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/ libqgispython.dylib


Note: there is no point to do this for Python 2.6 - the system doesn't have it. And if you change it to Python.framework/Python with the thought of catching the _current_ version, you run the risk of binary incompatibilities if Qgis finds a different Python version than compiled with.
