Re: Mac OS X - run from source

Ha! Well, yes, it is a New England thing. (Although technically, NY
isn't in New England - that's where the insult comes in.) While you
are setting up the dependencies, take notes. I forgot to and later on
couldn't retrace my steps, bless my heart.

is that a New England thing? down here, we just append a "bless his

As in, "The documentations for getting bitpim's dependencies in place
could use a bit of updating, bless its heart."

Personally, I am happy to help w/ such updating, given the desire of
the admin's in charge

but I recall having to build apsw and sqlite before BP would work
on my PPC/10.4 laptop. In both cases, it required an "install"
step at the end. For apsw, see:
http://initd.org/pub/software/pysqlite/apsw/3.3.13-r1/
apsw.html#Building
For sqlite3, I think it is a "./configure make make install" thing.

does that mean a make install or make clean step should be in there?

ok, these steps could use a bit more fleshing out...

# The static library is not built for inclusion into a seperate
shared library
# by default. If using gcc, then do this
$ env CC="gcc -fPIC" CFLAGS="-DHAVE_DLOPEN" ./configure --enable-
threadsafe --disable-tcl
# otherwise do this
$ env CFLAGS="-DHAVE_DLOPEN" ./configure --enable-threadsafe --
disable-tcl
# The CFLAGS="-DHAVE_DLOPEN bit is needed for loading dynamic
# extensions. See SQLite bug 2082

so, given these notes, I am assuming that with the latest dev tools,
I am using gcc for building, and so have been using the first line,
but not the second (env CFLAGS) line.
Is that OK?

Now, after tossing all, re-decompressing from their zip/gz files, I
have redone the steps (again)

I get this:

so, maybe I have a problem with my Python installation elsewhere?

Could there be old detritus I need to get rid of first?

Bitpim is easy to get running from source on OS X. Its the
dependencies (apsw, etc...) that are a bear to get going. Its been
a few months since I have had to do it so my recollection is a bit
hazy. Hope this helps. If not, send more questions.

Sent. Thanks!
