Good news, everybody!

The wonderful João Almeida has managed to get Anomos running on Macs with OS 10.5.7 Leopard.

UPDATE: He’s also made a DMG package, which you can download from his website here: Anomos.dmg.

This is how he did it:

Installed MacPorts with this dmg: http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/MacPorts-1.7.1/MacPorts-1.7.1-10.5-Leopard.dmg
(Im almost sure the following step is unnecessary, but not sure)
-> Then at the terminal: sudo port install py25-m2crypto
After this there was still a m2crypto error, so i downloaded this egg file: http://chandlerproject.org/pub/Projects/MeTooCrypto/M2Crypto-0.18.2-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg
and extracted it using Stuffit Expander, and copied the contents to /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages, getting something like in the first screenshot.
Then I installed git (dont know if it is necessary, but hey...):
sudo port install git-core
Afterwards, at the terminal:
svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/jhbuild/trunk jhbuild
cd jhbuild && make -f Makefile.plain install
cd /Users/*username*/bin
./jhbuild bootstrap
./jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
./jhbuild build fontconfig
./jhbuild build pygtk
Et voilá!


Thanks again, João!

In other exciting news in the Open Source world, both BitTorrent and M2Crypto, projects which we depend on, have accepted patches we have made back to them. Feels nice to give back to Open Source.

Rich out!
