Matt, Thanks for looking into this! I had already planned to look into building on Travis' Mac facilities, so this is a huge timesaver. Don't forget we also have Option 5 which is to do whatever it takes to automate some of these things within matplotlib's setup.py script itself. For

I'm banging away at installing MPL on top of python.org's python. I'm at the libfreetype/freetype issue. There seems to be three approaches to getting MPL's dependencies. 1) install libpng[1] and freetype[2] from source 2) install XQuartz[3] and twiddle /opt/X11, /usr/X11 (per Russell's

A few hints: If you just want to build matplotlib for your own computer (and don't care about making an installer that will work on anybody else's) then you can install from source with very little trouble: - You may want to edit setupext.py to limit searching to those dirs that really matter,

It would be nice to have mpl tested on a few different environments. The obvious ones are: clean macos macos + brew (py2/py3) macos + macports (2.6, 2.7, (3.1?), 3.2, 3.3) I started a repo to install these environments on travis CI's mac environment. I don't have all the bugs shaken out of the
