[Gtk-osx-users] Building gtk-osx on Lion -- no python?

[Phillip Heller <pheller me com>]

Greetings,

  I've upgraded to Lion and am trying to get my build environment working again.  Firstly, I've pulled in MacOS10.5.sdk and gcc-4.0 from Xcode 3.2.6, and set the appropriate environment variables for CC and CXX.  However, jhbuild does not seem to build a python, even though I've set _gtk_osx_use_jhbuild_python = True, and included meta-gtk-osx-python in my modules array.

Instead, once jhbuild gets to meta-gtk-osx-python, it first reaches pycairo-python2.6, which fails as it can't find Python.h with the system python in the path, which is presumably due to the following:

exit shell to continue with build
bash-3.2$ /usr/bin/python-config --includes
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/python2.7-config", line 26, in <module>
    pyver = sysconfig.get_config_var('VERSION')
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 585, in get_config_var
    return get_config_vars().get(name)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 498, in get_config_vars
    func()
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/sysconfig.py", line 407, in _init_posix
    raise DistutilsPlatformError(my_msg)
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now "10.5" but "10.7" during configure

I believe MACOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set thusly by the call to setup_sdk with a target of 10.5, which I wish to do for backwards compatibility.

Any suggestions as to how to get the jhbuild python built?

Regards,

  Phil
