Panda3D-1.7.0.dmg and OSX 10.4

[zovirl]

Is Panda3D-1.7.0.dmg expected to work on OSX 10.4.11? I think I should find out before I spend much more time debugging it

http://www.panda3d.org/manual/index.php ... ted_on_OSX suggests I should be able to run ppython after installing 1.7.0, but I can't:

Code: Select all

$ cd /Developer/Examples/Panda3D/Asteroids/
$ ppython Tut-Asteroids.py
-bash: ppython: command not found
$

Turns out ppython is a broken symlink:

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ppython
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  99 Nov  7 09:17 /usr/bin/ppython -> /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/[b]2.5[/b]/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
$ ls /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
[b]2.3[/b]/     Current
$

I tried running python2.5 directly:

Code: Select all

$ python2.5 ./Tut-Asteroids.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./Tut-Asteroids.py", line 13, in <module>
    import direct.directbase.DirectStart
ImportError: No module named direct.directbase.DirectStart

Ok, /Developer/Panda3D/lib was not added to my PYTHONPATH

Code: Select all

$ PYTHONPATH=/Developer/Panda3D/lib  python2.3 ./Tut-Asteroids.py
DirectStart: Starting the game.

I tried python2.3 (thinking maybe it was because I wasn't using the default system python). Same error.

Is 10.4 just too old?

The SDK build is not compiled with support for 10.4, sorry. You need at least 10.5 to use the SDK, or compile Panda3D yourself, from the source code.

The runtime does support 10.4, so applications you make using Panda3D will run on 10.4, but the requirement for the SDK is 10.5 for various reasons.

no worries, I figured 10.4 might be too old. I'm planning on upgrading soon so that will take care of that.
