I am having a problem building the latest 2.9.3.1 wxPython version. I
am the lead developer of the project relax which is a specialised
scientific software package. It has an optional GUI based on the
wxWidgets framework (http://www.nmr-relax.com/screenshots.html). I
would like provide the software as a Mac application via the py2app
building process, and for this I have a custom Python 2.7.2 Framework
build and installed in my home directory. To add wxPython to this
framework, I have build the package with:
This is obviously from within the wxPython directory. At the bottom
of this message is the full output of the build process (well, the
second time around so that only the relevant messages are shown). The
key is that the directory lib/wx/-osx_cocoa-unicode-2.9 is created,
but later on the directory lib/wx/osx_cocoa-unicode-2.9 is being
searched for and not found causing the build/installation process to
fail. Would anyone know how to fix the build scripts to make this
work?
Cheers,
Edward

How is it possible to have a custom Python+wxPython framework if this flag is broken? I worked out that the compilation problem was on line 550 of the wxPython-src-2.9.3.1/build/tools/build-wxwidgets.py script whereby the line:
text = file('lib/wx/config/%s' % configname).read()
should be:
text = file('lib/wx/config/-%s' % configname).read()
With this, the wxPython framework now builds successfully and is used alongside the Python framework. However if I run the GUI, I now have other issues:
$ ~/bin/python2.7 relax -g Trace/BPT trap $
and I see a window which says "Python quit unexpectedly".

Python needs to be a framework, but the extension modules and other libraries it loads do not need to be. Apple imposes a lot of constraints about the stricture and content of a framework, and it has been a little tricky so far to get wxWidgets to fit into that entirely.
However it does work fine with wxWidgets built as a normal shared/dynamic library. You can use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to control where the dynamic libs are loaded from, or use install_name_tool to change where the wxPython extension modules look for them (and build-wxpython.py should do that for you IIRC.)

Actually, the leading hyphen should not be there at all, so I expect that the problem may be in wxWidgets' configure script when the framework flag is used, or perhaps something else that is happening early in the make install process. But either way I would try it without the framework flag and just let wxWidgets install normally to $PREFIX/lib.
