12 The ``build-installer.py`` script creates Python distributions, including
13 certain third-party libraries as necessary. It builds a complete
14 framework-based Python out-of-tree, installs it in a funny place with

31 1. 32-bit-only, i386 and PPC universal, capable on running on all machines
32 supported by Mac OS X 10.5 through (at least) 10.10::
34 /usr/bin/python build-installer.py \
35 --sdk-path=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk \
36 --universal-archs=32-bit \
37 --dep-target=10.5
39 - builds the following third-party libraries
46 - uses system-supplied versions of third-party libraries
50 - requires ActiveState ``Tcl/Tk 8.4`` (currently 8.4.20) to be installed for building
52 - recommended build environment:
54 * Mac OS X 10.5.8 Intel or PPC
58 * Apple ``gcc-4.2``
59 * bootstrap non-framework Python 2.7 for documentation build with
62 - alternate build environments:
64 * Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Xcode 3.2.6
65 … - need to change ``/System/Library/Frameworks/{Tcl,Tk}.framework/Version/Current`` to ``8.4``
66 * Note Xcode 4.* does not support building for PPC so cannot be used for this build
68 2. 64-bit / 32-bit, x86_64 and i386 universal, for OS X 10.6 (and later)::
70 /usr/bin/python build-installer.py \
71 --sdk-path=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk \
72 --universal-archs=intel \
73 --dep-target=10.6
75 - builds the following third-party libraries
81 - uses system-supplied versions of third-party libraries
86 - requires ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5.15 (or later) to be installed for building
88 - recommended build environment:
90 * Mac OS X 10.6.8 (or later)
94 * Apple ``gcc-4.2``
95 * bootstrap non-framework Python 2.7 for documentation build with
98 - alternate build environments:
101 ``llvm-gcc-4.2.1`` has been found to miscompile Python 3.3.x and
102 produce a non-functional Python executable. As it appears to be
106 production-ready in the most recent Xcode 5 releases, the versions
109 that the Xcode 3 gcc-4.2 compiler has had.

138 ----------
140 Here are the steps you need to follow to build a Python installer:
142 * Run ``build-installer.py``. Optionally you can pass a number of arguments
144 ``build-installer.py`` for its usage.
146 Running this script takes some time, it will not only build Python itself
147 but also some 3rd-party libraries that are needed for extensions.
155 It is also possible to build a 4-way universal installer that runs on
158 /usr/bin/python /build-installer.py \
159 --dep-target=10.5
160 --universal-archs=all
161 --sdk-path=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
164 also that you are building on at least OS X 10.5. 4-way includes
167 while OS X 10.6 is only supported on Intel-based machines, it is possible
168 to run ``ppc`` (32-bit) executables unmodified thanks to the Rosetta ppc
169 emulation in OS X 10.5 and 10.6. The 4-way installer variant must be
172 Other ``--universal-archs`` options are ``64-bit`` (``x86_64``, ``ppc64``),
173 and ``3-way`` (``ppc``, ``i386``, ``x86_64``). None of these options
