Building .app on Mac OS X with Macports
I'm trying to build inkscape 0.48.2 as a Mac .app application using Macports. I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.3 with Xcode 4.2.1 and Macports python 2.7.2 with numpy and lxml. According to the wiki page [1], I should use the osx-app.sh shell script to create it. So I attempted to run the script as stated in the wiki but it did not work for me, saying that it wants the python modules directory to be specified.
$ pwd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_mports_trunk_dports_graphics_inkscape/inkscape/work/inkscape-0.48.2/packaging/macosx $ ./osx-app.sh -s -b /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_mports_trunk_dports_graphics_inkscape/inkscape/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/inkscape -p ../../Info.plist
CREATE INKSCAPE APP BUNDLE
Python modules directory not specified. Python modules can be downloaded from: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Python-packages.dmg
So I next attempted to specify the python directory.
$ ./osx-app.sh -s -b /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_mports_trunk_dports_graphics_inkscape/inkscape/work/destroot/opt/local/bin/inkscape -p ../../Info.plist -py /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
CREATE INKSCAPE APP BUNDLE
Directory does not appear to contain the i386 and ppc python modules: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages Python modules can be downloaded from: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Python-packages.dmg
I tried the download link but that does not resolve.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, and more importantly how I can build inkscape as a Mac .app with Macports?
Cheers! Frank

Hi Frank,
Sorry that server disappeared when modevia stopped hosting nightly builds for us. We need to update the build script to reflect that.
I have a copy of the Python-packages.dmg but this doesn't work with the python version in Lion (OS X 10.7.x) anyway. I believe that we need to update the build script to package up a version of lxml and numpy built specifically for Lion.
Cheers, Michael

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the response. Can the script be modified to use the x86_64 python 2.7 (or whatever version) numpy and lxml modules built from Macports? That will work for Lion because those modules will have been built locally for the user.
Cheers! Frank

Numpy does not need to be included for Lion (nor for Snow Leopard): it already comes with the system python version [1].
(See also 'Note III' in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/38204: for the app created on Lion with the additional lxml module for Python 2.7 included, I did edit the launcher script 'Resources/bin/inkscape' to allow the 64bit inkscape build on Lion to launch the default system python (Python 2.7 64bit), instead of forcing it to fall back to Python 2.6 in 32bit as workaround to be able to use the modules from Python-packages.dmg.
To build the lxml module for Python 2.7, I did follow the instructions from http://lxml.de/build.html#building-lxml-on-macos-x and installed the module into a custom prefix (with static deps). AFAICT this could easily be scripted and added to the packaging scripts.)
hth, ~suv
[1] Attached a small debug extension which I use to verify the paths from which the modules lxml and numpy are loaded, as well as which python version is launched.
Hi, I am trying to build Inkscape in a app, but just to use it and make some graphic works.
Would you have a .app file to send me please ? Or a link to download the OS X 64 bits package ?
Thanks in advance
