Problem building GTK with jbuild on Mac OS X

Development Building synfig

Hi everyone,

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask my question…

I cannot build GTK with jbuild on my Leopard 10.5.8 system.

I have deleted the Leopard built-in Python 2.5 folder (At that time I didn’t know that deleting the default system Python is not good…) and I have installed Python 2.7 (from the .dmg file).
I also Installed Apple Developer Tools, which I guess should be XCode 3.0.

On the terminal I verified my Python version:

$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python

Then I followed this guide to build GTK:
sidhosting.co.uk/josh_fradley/ge … g-on-os-x/

which is basically the same as the one in Gnome site:
live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX/Building#Procedure

I followed the first guide, but it gives me some errors:

Done.

macbook-pro:~ francesco$ jhbuild bootstrap

    return float(exp.match(_ver).group(1))
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
jhbuild: could not load config file

Anyone can tell me why I got this error?
It seems that jbuild doesn’t see my xcode version? But I did install it!

It’s very strange because I suceeded to do ‘jbuild bootstrap’ before when I used to have Python 2.5, although I got stuck for other commands more forward.

Thanks everyone.

Hi!
I don’t have a Mac but can you check what is the minimum (or maximum) python version that the gtk-osx-build-setup.sh script needs? I guess that it doesn’t work well with python 2.7. Maybe you can put in contact with the script author and ask the requirements to run the scripts.
Good luck!

Thanks, now I’ll try with Python 2.6

UPDATE:

I also tried with Python 2.6, same problem
It seems that it’s a problem of XCode, e.g. Apple Developer Tools
