This page is intended for those who want to build Mac OS X installer packages. For those of you who just want to use Tryton, simply follow the instructions for installing Tryton on Mac OS X. (Note: At this time, instructions are only provided for packaging the Mac OS X client.)

Building a Mac OS X Client Application Bundle

Preparing the gtk-osx Environment

(NB: At this time, these instructions will create an i386 only client that will run on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and later.)

  1. Validate that gcc-4.0 and the 10.5 sdk are present
/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -v
ls -ld /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
  1. Install git
curl -O http://git-osx-installer.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.2.3-intel-leopard.dmg
open git-1.7.2.3-intel-leopard.dmg
sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/Git\ 1.7.2.3\ Intel\ Leopard/git-1.7.2.3-intel-leopard.pkg -target /
hdiutil eject "/Volumes/Git 1.7.2.3 Intel Leopard"
  1. Create a user just for this build, become that user, and prepare the environment
sudo su - gtkosxbuilder
cat << EOF > ~/.profile
export PATH=~/.local/bin:~/gtk/inst/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/git/bin
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=~/gtk/inst/lib
EOF
. ~/.profile
  1. Download and run the gtk-osx build setup script
curl -L -O http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gtk-osx/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
  1. Modify .jhbuildrc-custom
sed -i -e 's/^setup_sdk/#setup_sdk/g' .jhbuildrc-custom
cat << EOF >> .jhbuildrc-custom
_gtk_osx_use_jhbuild_python = True
branches["python"] = "http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.4/Python-2.6.4.tar.bz2"
setup_sdk(target="10.5", sdk_version="10.5", architectures=["i386"])
os.environ["CC"] = "/usr/bin/gcc-4.0"
os.environ["DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = ""
build_policy = "updated-deps"
modules = [ "meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap", "meta-gtk-osx-core", "meta-gtk-osx-python", "librsvg", "meta-gtk-osx-themes", "gtk-quartz-engine" ]
EOF
  1. Build (This may take 30 minutes)
jhbuild bootstrap --ignore-system && jhbuild build
  1. Install mercurial, and satisfy the tryton client dependencies
mkdir -p tmp
cd ~/tmp
curl -O http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz
tar zxvf setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz
cd setuptools-0.6c11
python ./setup.py install
easy_install mercurial python-dateutil py2app

Running the Client

  1. Checkout Tryton client source
cd ~
hg clone http://hg.tryton.org/tryton

Please see HowtoContribute for a more thorough introduction to the use of mercurial within the Tryton project.

  1. Execute using the gtk-osx built python interpreter
~gtkosxbuilder/gtk/inst/bin/python path/to/tryton/client

Packaging the Client

  1. Once again, become the gtkosxbuilder user, and invoke py2app within the source tree. Take care to ensure the path is writable by this user.
sudo su - gtkosxbuilder
cd path/to/tryton/client
python ./setup.py py2app
  1. The application bundle is built, then packaged along with other various distribution files and added to tryton-x.y.z.dmg, which is located at the top level of the source tree.
