Compiling pyglet on MacOsX

• you may get errors if trying to install pyglet using the traditional way, using pip for instance (was my case on MacOs X Lion 10.7.0 + python 64bits from EPD or homebrew). in cause is the carbon code that has been abandonned in the 64bits libraries that come with the OS

• the solution comes from the https://code.google.com/p/cocoa-python/ package

  1. clone the package hg clone https://code.google.com/p/cocoa-python 

  2. insert the code in your PYTHONPATH: rsync -av cocoapy /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyglet/libs/darwin

• a simpler solution is to install the pyglet code from https://code.google.com/r/evilphillip-cocoa-ctypes2/ :

  1. hg clone https://code.google.com/r/evilphillip-cocoa-ctypes2/

  2. cd evilphillip-cocoa-ctypes2/

  3. python setup.py install

• works!
