Gtk+ Mac OS X

Hi users,

Does anybody know how to install properly pygtk on macosX ? I developped several applications using pygtk and i am asked to make them running on macos and I am completely newbie with this OS.
My best friend google didn't give me interesting links.

I need help.

Thanks

I followed the above instructions ("jhbuild pygtk") and I think I'm close to have it working, but not quite. It builds and installs just fine, but then I get an error when trying to import the gtk python module:

Thanks for all the work on this! This looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to getting it working and having a native version of my app.

Seems like there are some unimplemented new functions that need implementing. I'll try to do that asap, can't promise when though. Thanks for reporting.

Now I'm getting:

This time it also had trouble building Pango (which I told it to ignore though this will probably impact me later as my app uses some Pango markup):

configure: error: *** Could not enable any of FreeType, X11, Cairo, or Win32 backends.

and I had trouble with the following command which used to work:

OK, two more missing symbols

Submitted by Richard Hult on Sun, 2008-08-10 10:26.

OK, two more missing symbols added. The question is why I can use the pygtk bindings with those symbols missing. Is this on 10.4 or .5? And with an up to date jhbuild setup as described here?

Hi, I am trying to get pygtk running on macosX 10.5.4 Leopard. I downloaded and installed gtk and pygtk using jhbuld yesterday, but I still get the following error when trying to run the application I need that calls them.

As I replied to that one, "that symbol is not supposed to be in there, you need to rebuild the pygtk module (make sure to clean it before rebuilding)."

If you find more of those symbol issues, just mail me instead, that is easier (richard a t imendio.com).

GIMP uses pygtk. Since the

Submitted by Auria on Wed, 2008-02-13 00:13.

GIMP uses pygtk. Since the jhbuild script can install GIMP (i think) it should also be able to install pygtk. Alternatively, look at the GIMP wiki, some time ago I wrote an article on building GIMP on mac (http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/HowToCompileGimp/MacOSX), and this article includes pygtk

Getting it to run will be rather easy, packaging it will be much harder

Yeah, you can use the setup

Submitted by Richard Hult on Wed, 2008-02-13 09:58.

Yeah, you can use the setup described on this site, and then run

jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-python

As Auria says, packaging is harder :) I have some plans to add pygtk support to the app bundler also on this site.

Richard: don't you think

Submitted by Auria on Thu, 2008-02-14 02:45.

Richard: don't you think making some sort of "official" GTK installer for mac would help? We could simply let an installer stage it in some standard location (like a .framework, or just leaving it in /opt), and apps can then just link to it without caring about packaging (and ask their users to run the GTK installer - just like it's done on windows)

that would save a heck of time and be so much more simple

pygobject-2.14.2
and
pygtk (svn version)

cd pygobject-2.14.2
./configure PKG_CONFIG=/Users/sasha/gtk/inst/bin/pkg-config
make
sudo make install

the build process is terminated without errors

... tring to install pygtk
it need some works to export the right GTK environment libraries
(libtool, automake, pkg-config ..)

It's much easier than that.

Submitted by Richard Hult on Mon, 2008-06-02 11:40.

It's much easier than that. Use the instructions here on building GTK+. When that is done, just do the following:

jhbuild build pygtk

yep :-D ..it works fine

Submitted by epifanio on Mon, 2008-06-02 12:32.

yep :-D

..it works fine !!!

i first get an error about permission denied
at the make install (pygobject) process
(i'm using the leopard system python that requires sudo privileges)
i used "sudo jhbuild build pygtk"
... i tested the pygtk hello-world example
and everithing works fine :-D

really thanks to all!
