I’ve been unable to build P4Python for an Intel Mac OS X 10.5.5.

These are my steps:

  1. I downloaded p4python.tgz (from http://filehost.perforce.com/perforce/r07.3/tools/) and expanded it into ‘P4Python-2007.3’.
  2. I downloaded p4api.tar (from http://filehost.perforce.com/perforce/r07.3/bin.macosx104x86/) and expanded it into ‘p4api-2007.3.143793’.
  3. I placed ‘p4api-2007.3.143793’ into ‘P4Python-2007.3’ and edited setup.cfg to set ‘p4_api=./p4api-2007.3.143793’.

  4. I added the line ‘extra_link_args = [‘-framework’, ‘Carbon’]’ to setup.py after:

    elif unameOut[0] == 'Darwin':     unix = 'MACOSX'     release = '104'     platform = self.architecture(unameOut[4])

  5. I ran python setup.py build and got:

$ python setup.py build

which gcc returns /usr/bin/gcc and gcc -v returns:

Using built-in specs. Target: i686-apple-darwin9 Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5465~16/src/configure --disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0 --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=i686-apple-darwin9 --with-arch=apple --with-tune=generic --host=i686-apple-darwin9 --target=i686-apple-darwin9 Thread model: posix gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)

python -V returns Python 2.4.3.

  1. The newer version 2008.1 will build with Python 2.4.

    I had posted the minor changes required to do that on my P4Python page, but they were rolled in to the official version.
