Hey All,

I'm building PyObjC and running into an error. It went through build and puild_py. However, in build_ext, I'm getting the following errors:

Code:

I'm running the following command from within the /Library/Python/2.3/pyobjc/ folder:

Code:

python setup.py bdist_mpkg --open

I'm on OS 10.3.9. Thanks,

Well, the error message mentions QTKit, which was introduced in Tiger. I also know that the 10.3.9 mostly included backported Tiger features and bugfixes. I'm running Tiger, but I searched the 10.3.9 SDK for "qtkit" using Spotlight and didn't find anything. So I assume that it isn't one of the backported features.

That would seem to suggest that PyObjC needs Tiger, but the PyObjC site mentions cats back to Jaguar. That means there's probably a bug somewhere in setup.py. Poke through the build files and see if you can disable the QTKit parts. I'm assuming you know enough Python to do that.

Well, it's only throwing a couple errors related to QTKit, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a setting or something that could contribute to this error. Anyway, pretty much just disabled QTKit altogether and it compiled fine. Interesting...

On a related note, there a couple definitions like this in setup.py:

Code:

packages = (
    CorePackages +
    AppKitPackages +
    FoundationPackages +
    AddressBookPackages +
    PrefPanesPackages +
    InterfaceBuilderPackages +
    ScreenSaverPackages +
    WebKitPackages +
    MessagePackages +
    SecurityInterfacePackages +
    ExceptionHandlingPackages +
    # Mac OS X 10.4
    AppleScriptKitPackages +
    AutomatorPackages +
    CoreDataPackages +
    DiscRecordingPackages +
    DiscRecordingUIPackages +
    SyncServicesPackages +
    XgridFoundationPackages +
    QTKitPackages +
    QuartzPackages +
    OSAKitPackages +
    SenTestingKitPackages +

Which would imply that the features below the comment were Tiger-only... except setup.py was either written for a Tiger system, is misidentifying my system, or another possibility.

http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ … me704.html is the solution to this problem.

is a better solition

Apparently you can also download the 10.4 SDK onto a 10.3.9 machine and use the QTKit and ld from that SDK
