Nagare installation on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)

Posted by crumble on January 13, 2010 (updated on January 13, 2010)

Snow Leopard has been released this summer.

The 64-bits Mac OS X version is installed by default on new Mac. Currently, the use of Nagare with the 64-bits stackless Mac OS X version leads to a Bus Error .

To get around this, we need to install a 32-bits stackless python, thus changing slightly the install procedure for Mac OS X described previously .

Install MacPorts

Install instructions here.

Configure MacPorts

MacPorts has to use universal variant (64 + 32 bits compilation).

In order to do so, you add +universal into variants.conf file, i.e. for default macports installation:

echo +universal | sudo tee -a /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf

Install Stackless

Now we have to run configure for 32-bits architecture:

cd /tmp
wget http://www.stackless.com/binaries/stackless-264-export.tar.bz2
tar jxvf stackless-264-export.tar.bz2
cd stackless-2.6.4*
CC="gcc -arch i386" ./configure --enable-stacklessfewerregisters --prefix=<STACKLESS_HOME>
make all
sudo make install

Once Stackless Python installed, Nagare installation goes on as usual.

Just a little addition: I need to install libiconv with Macports to have a fully fonctional nagare. 

sudo port install libiconv
