[BitPim-devel] developer how to?

[Allen Hancock]

so, I am trying to get bitpim to run from source on an intel mac.

Note that you must use version 2.6.3.2 and you must use the Unicode
version.

and yet I dont' see that version for os x... can I use the 2.5
version from here:
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-osx-
unicode-2.8.1.1-universal10.4-py2.5.dmg>

On Linux and Mac you should build the USB module if you use an LG
phone with a straight USB cable

so, if I am using a sanyo phone, I can skip this? sorry if I am being
dense...

thanks for any help, I do plan on documenting my steps so other tiger
users can repeat it....

I am not too sure about Macs. Check
http://www.wxpython.org/download-2.6.3.3.php to see if it has what you
need. I use python 2.4 on linux. Maybe later versions of Python are OK
too. We just have to do our builds with Python 2.3.

On Linux, the USB module is needed for the Sanyo 2400 and 3100. I suspect
you will need it for those phones on Macs too. I'll update the developer
notes to indicate that.
