Steps to install (most of) pygame cleanly for 10.9

pygame.md

Downloads:

• Xcode command line tools (https://developer.apple.com/downloads/)
• Packages (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html)
• XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/)
• libpng and libjpeg combo package (http://ethan.tira-thompson.com/Mac_OS_X_Ports.html)
• Mercurial aka 'hg' command (http://mercurial.selenic.com/downloads)
• Each of the following SDL 1.2 frameworks:
• SDL: https://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
• SDL_ttf: https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/release-1.2.html (Download will say 2.x, but it's still for 1.2)
• SDL_image: https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/release-1.2.html
• SDL_mixer: http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/release-1.2.html

Install:

• Xcode command line tools
• XQuartz
• Packages
• libpng & libjpeg combo package

SDL:

The point of this section is easy, proper installation of the SDL framework files into /Library/Frameworks without messing about with permissions. If you know what you're doing here, by all means, go for it :)

• Mount all of the .dmg files for SDL
• Open 'Packages' app, create a new 'Raw Package' project
• Give it a name and identifier (doesn't really matter)
• Click on 'Payload' tab
• Select the '/Library/Frameworks' folder in the 'Payload' tab view and use the '+' button at the bottom left to add each SDL framework into this folder.
• Build menu -> 'Build and Run' (and actually go through the install process)

Build and install pygame:

• Open Terminal
• hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
• cd pygame
• export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include
• python setup.py build
• sudo python setup.py install

To verify that things are working correctly:

• Take a look at the examples at: http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/examples.html
• Then in the Terminal run: python -m pygame.examples.<example name>

Bonus pygame OpenGL support:

• Download get-pip.py from http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html
• sudo python get-pip.py
• sudo pip install PyOpenGL

Additional notes:

• smpeg.framework, precompiled, is inside the SDL_mixer.framework. For pygame to see/use it, you have to extract/link a copy into /Library/Frameworks

Things that are missing:

• Movie support (requires libavfoundation/ffmpeg stuff, big compile)
• Computer camera support
• MIDI support

Misc. notes about opencv and simplecv:

• git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git git checkout 2.4.9
• Compile string for opencv: cmake .. -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET= -DWITH_QUICKTIME=OFF -DPYTHON_PACKAGES_PATH=/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages -DINSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON
• git clone https://github.com/sightmachine/SimpleCV
• Not all files in simplecv are correctly installed into the module:
• SimpleCV/Features/*.txt; *.png
• SimpleCV/Features/FaceRecognizerData/*.xml
• SimpleCV/MachineLearning/*.txt; *.png
• SimpleCV/MachineLearning/query_imgs/*
