Re: MacOS python/GUI issues

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

You need to have a python (2.4 or newer) installation that includes py2app,

http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html

when you have that, you should check out the lilypad installer at

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/macos-lilypad

then it should work if you do

 python setup.py py2app --iconfile lilypond.icns

where the .icns is from

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/installers/macos/lilypond.icns?root=lilypond

The resulting .app  is something you should be able to open with

  open LilyPad.app

and should be similar to the current lilypond application.



 tar cfz lilypad.tar.gz LilyPad.app/

I'm pretty sure Graham did this a while ago for me (like 2 years), but
I can't recover the results anymore.

actually, it appears that I have still have that tarball sitting on my
HD right here.

Let me try to upload it somewhere for people to try.
