emesene works on Mac OS X, without X11!

We just need the port of GTK+2 for quarz and pygtk

It required a few fixes and about 3-4 hours of compilation on my powerbook G4 1Ghz with mac os x 10.5

I will now try to make a .app bundle with all the things i built. I have no intel mac so i won't be able to do it for intel. If i succed in this task, i will send the app to the author of the program.

I seem to have successfully built a .app package for emesene containing all the libraries needed. it will only run on 10.5 powerpc, i think. i'm still checking if everything seems to work alright and i will send the file afterwards. Although the program runs as is when launched from command-line, i had to change a few things in the source code to make it use the correct path. I used py2app to create the .app and it stores the code in a zip file so os.path.dirname(_ _file_ _) returns the path to the zip file which is not correct. I found two place where i had to change this paths.

Thanks for make opensource software

here is the link: emesene for mac os x 10.5 powerpc. feel free to try it on intel and 10.4 as well and let me know how it worked

edit: this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?1xwyyyybngn has been reported to be working on any powerpc with 10.5 10.4 has python 2.3 i have to compile the libs for this as well and for intel, same thing: compile for python2.5 ad python 2.3.

edit: this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?8x12biy1wmo will allow you to specify a custom theme in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file

emesene works on mac os x 10.4.11 without x11 too

Instructions are coming soon, but I am not sure about the .app package

gtk2 +quartz needs to be built using this tutorial by Imendio: http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/build-instructions (the better way)

You also need to compile manually (preferably into jhbuild's special shell, after the finishing of the script) the following

pygobject

pycairo

libglade

pygtk2

(check for the sources of these libraries into gnome repository)

That's all...gtk wil be installed into /opt/gtk

I'll post as soon as possibile the .app package, me and Edgardo are testing it.
