[Gdal-dev] OSX 10.5 - 64bits & python goodies

[William Kyngesburye]

Finally got thru most of the dependencies on Leopard.  Not too much  
trouble building quad-arch (ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64) - some extra  
fiddling with switching some definitions based on __LP64__.  And  
Xerces uses Carbon APIs to do some file IO and charset handling, and  
Carbon is deprecated in Leopard, AND there is no 64bit Carbon at all,  
so Xerces is going to take some work to build 64bit on Leopard.

So, Leopard now includes Python 2.5!  As I tried to build numpy for  
that it wouldn't build 64bit, but poking around in the stuff included  
by Apple turned up numpy 1.0.1 AND setuptools, among other goodies  
(easyinstall, wxpython, py2app, ...).


... back to Leopard and GDAL ...

"We are at war with them. Neither in hatred nor revenge and with no  
particular pleasure I shall kill every ___ I can until the war is  
over. That is my duty."

"Don't you even hate 'em?"

"What good would it do if I did? If all the many millions of people of  
the allied nations devoted an entire year exclusively to hating the  
____ it wouldn't kill one ___ nor shorten the war one day."

<Ha, ha> "And it might give 'em all stomach ulcers."
