A couple points which might be of note to programmers on Mac OS X:
- Smultron has been forked to continue its development into 10.6 (Snow Leopard). The new project is called Fraise and it’s working fine for me. I’d been using TextWrangler since upgrading to Snow Leopard, but I group related files together in separate windows and, lacking the ability to save a window’s contents, had to keep opening more and more windows to be restored on program launch. When I needed a new window on top of the well-populated four I already had, the inability to save lists of related files to open later (without resorting to AppleScript hacks) finally got me to go check and see if a new Smultron was available. (Of course, now I’m missing the ability to configure my own keyboard shortcuts.)
- Anyone attempting to use the latest SWIG (1.3.40) on 10.6 may find this thread useful, once getting it successfully installed. Specifically, I’ve found the following sequence of commands to work. (I’m not a SWIG expert, so if anyone knows differently, please feel free to speak up.)
- swig -c++ -python extension.i
- gcc -fPIC extension_wrap.cxx -o extension_wrap.o -I/usr/include/python2.6/ -L/usr/lib/python2.6/ -c
- g++ -dynamiclib -lpython *.o -o _extension.so
