Getting pygame going on MAC OSX is not for the fainthearted; so be warned.…

It will also take a lot of time One my first attempt I tried to use the OSX tools as much as possible. This didn’t work after trying all possible combi’s of SDL as OSX framework and SDL as unix lib I tried the mac ports approach.

This is what I did to get it running without having to use an Xserver window

1) Installed Mac Ports: http://www.macports.org/

2) In terminal: sudo port selfupdate sudo port install py26-game sudo port install py26-sqlalchemy

Now wait a very long time: almost 2 hours to compile all dependencies (if you didn’t use mac port before)

3) get seniorplay: svn co https://schoolsplay.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/schoolsplay/branches/sen...

4) in SPConstants.py I changed: noGTK to true; I don’t need GTK now :-) 5) started seniorplay with the mac ports python in /opt/local/bin/python2.6

/opt/local/bin/python2.6 seniorplay_sp_local.py -t seniorplay
