Install from GitHub on OS X not finding SDL2, GStreamer, and other pieces

[Ian Stokes-Rees]

Hello,

I am exploring Kivy for the first time, and am working on an OS X system.  I would very much prefer to work with Kivy within an Anaconda environment, rather than from the `/Applications/Kivy2.app/Contents/Resources` directory -- that seems like a very strange place for me to do anything.

So I have resorted to using the GitHub checkout and installing from there.  I followed the instructions to use HomeBrew and did:

$ brew install sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer gstreamer

Warning: sdl2-2.0.4 already installed

Warning: sdl2_image-2.0.1_1 already installed

Warning: sdl2_ttf-2.0.14 already installed

Warning: sdl2_mixer-2.0.1 already installed

Warning: gstreamer-1.8.1 already installed

So you can see they are already installed.

However when I installed Kivy I got messages saying they weren't found:

$python setup.py install

Using distutils

Do I need to go and get SDL2 and GStreamer from places such as:

https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+on+Mac+OS+X

Or is there something else I should do to make this work?  I pulled down and installed the SDL frameworks from the libsdl.org site, but even then I end up with Kivy failing to install with this error:

         ^

 error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Advice on how to proceed would be appreciated!  I have seen a few recommendations on this mailing list from the past month but have not been able to get any of them to work.

TIA! Ian

I got a little further by correcting the version symlink for Current which had pointed at 0.1 to point at 1.0, then things got past the "gst/gst.h" error.

However now I'm stuck with a GStreamer.framework problem (framework not found). I don't understand it, because the framework is most certainly there (/Library/Framework directory and also XCode.app sub-sub-sub... directory)

Suggestions?

can you try with `USE_OSX_FRAMEORKS=0 python setup.py install`
