I've been playing for hours and finally have it so that

python setup.py sdist
python setup.by bdist_rpm

work as expected.

I have distributions and RPM's that I need to put somewhere.

Thanks,

So distutils stuff works?

And are there any plans for a debian package (more "if not, I'll work
at it", than an honest request).

With a lot of help from our own classes, they do.  It would be nice to get
our changes put into the main Distutils tree.

I have not heard of anyone who is working on this.  It would be nice to
add this to the distutils if possible so that

python setup.py bdist_deb  # or something similar

works.

Regards,

Travis

I'll update and take a look tommorow or tommorow night.

Subject: [SciPy-dev] Building SciPy on Mac OS X
Message-ID: <20010725005337.PHSJ11181.tomts14-srv.bellnexxia.net@localhost>

All,

I've decide that I'm going to tackle getting SciPy working on
Mac OS X. So, my basic tasks are:

1. Patch Fortran compilation to support f2c.

If I'm correct, I just have to modify build_flib.py to add the new
class ?

2. Patch Other libraries as needed. So far I've found the following:

In the Cephes module, I had to do the following:
special/cephes/polmisc.c - replace malloc.h with stdlib.h
special/cephes/polyn.c - replace  malloc.h with stdlib.h

Because malloc and free are defined in stdlib.h on OS X.

3. GIST won't compile so an alternate plotting library is necessary.

I've been thinking of developing a plotting library on top of
PyOpenGL. There are even some descriptions on getting postscript
output (as a set of vector primitives) using the feedback buffer at:

  http://reality.sgi.com/mjk_asd/tips/Feedback.html

Thoughts ? Suggestions ?

Thanks,

Tim Lahey

All,

As I mentioned in my previous message, I've been trying to patch
Fortran compilation to support f2c. Unfortunately, after some
work on patching both build_flib.py and the fc f2c script, I ran
into several problems.

1. fc puts the files into the current directory.
2. The build process runs into problems with the space in the
platform name which contains "Power Macintosh". In particular,
ar has problems with the space.

I think, I'll wait until gcc 3.0 on OS X. That will have g77 support.

Cheers,

Tim Lahey
