= Installing Trac on Mac OS X, without Fink = I have found that trying to install Trac and all its dependencies, notably subversion and the swig bindings, on OS X 10.3 without using [http://fink.sf.net/ Fink], to be surprisingly difficult and full of gotchas. With some perseverance, and considerable help from kind folks on the trac and subversion users lists, I have succeeded. In the hope that this may help others, I am documenting here what has worked for me. This procedure intentionally specifies that subversion be installed without Berkeley DB, thus svn repositories will be only [http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/fsfs FSFS], as per current recommendation. The details here are quite tightly bound to the specific version of each package installed, and therefore are likely to change quickly. Please take this into account, and do not follow them blindly! Also, if you discover any incorrectness, or obsoleteness, please be so kind as to either update this document yourself, or just contact me on ''mario@ruggier.org'' about it. You should allow yourself a comfortable hour or so for this installation procedure... and that is real quick and easy when compared to the few days of frustration I spent figuring out why things were not working, due to incomplete, inconistent, or just contradictory documentation that is currently available! == Requirements == * Apache 1.3, the one bundled with OS X 10.3 * [http://www.python.org/ Python], use the stock python 2.3 that comes with your OS X 10.3 system (in {{{/usr/bin/python}}}) * [http://www.webdav.org/neon/ neon], version >= 0.24.7 * [http://www.swig.org/ swig], version '''=''' 1.3.21, and '''not''' 1.3.24 !! * [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion], version >= 1.1.3 * [http://www.sqlite.org/ SQLite], version >= 3.0.8 * [http://pysqlite.org/ PySQLite], version >= 1.1.6 * [http://clearsilver.net/ Clearsilver], version >= 0.9.13 * [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ docutils], version >= 0.3.7 * [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/ trac], version >= 0.8 == Preliminaries == === no fink === Preferably you do not have fink in your environment, to avoid that the various configure scripts pick up libraries to link to from under fink. So, make sure that your env path does not include any {{{/sw}}} dirs, and that the file {{{/sw/bin/init.sh}}} is not being executed from anywhere in your {{{.profile}}}. === clean-up === '''Note:''' you may prefer to do this clean-up step only if a first installation attempt fails. Clean out any previously installed libs and executables prior to doing the installation process. The files to remove (or rename) are: {{{ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/apr sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/libneon* sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/libsvn* sudo rm -f /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/neon.pc sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/swig sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/neon-config sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/svn* sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/subversion-1 }}} Plus, if you happen to have any previous installations of the swig svn python bindings in your site packages, then remove (or rename) them: {{{ sudo rm -rf /Library/Python/2.3/libsvn sudo rm -rf /Library/Python/2.3/svn }}} == Installing the Packages == I will only describe the essentials that are particular to OS X, and to installing without Fink. Please substitute any steps not detailed here with their generic equivalents in TracInstall. === neon === In theory you should not need to install this separately, but doing so may avoid some confusing warnings when installing subversion, due to missing entry for darwin in the neon configure script (the neon currently bundled with subversion). See this [http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=26484 note on the svn users list] as to why we may want to install neon separately. * Get latest source tarball from (http://www.webdav.org/neon/) {{{ cd ./configure make sudo make install }}} === swig === The latest version of swig (1.3.24) will '''not''' work! You need version 1.3.21, as stated in this [http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=26451 message on the svn users list]: "subversion 1.1.x currently REQUIRES swig >= 1.3.19 and <= 1.3.21. Swig1.3.24 is _not_ supported." * Get source tarball for '''1.3.21''' from (http://www.swig.org/) * See the generalized [http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL INSTALL] procedure, from which highlights are extracted below: {{{ cd ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python make make runtime sudo make install sudo make install-runtime }}} === subversion === * Get latest source tarball from (http://subversion.tigris.org/) For 10.3: {{{ cd ./configure --without-berkeley-db --enable-swig-bindings=python PYTHON=/usr/bin/python make sudo make install }}} For Mac OS X 10.4, the following works: {{{ cd GXX=yes ./configure --without-berkeley-db --enable-swig-bindings=python --with-swig=/usr/local/bin/swig PYTHON=/usr/bin/python PYTHON2=/usr/bin/python2.3 make sudo make install }}} === swig svn python bindings === For 10.3 do: {{{ cd make swig-py sudo make install-swig-py echo /usr/local/lib/svn-python > /Library/Python/2.3/svn-python.pth }}} For 10.4 do: {{{ cd make swig-py sudo make install-swig-py echo /usr/local/lib/svn-python > /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/svn-python.pth }}} === sqlite, pysqlite === * Get sqlite latest source tarball from (http://www.sqlite.org/) and pysqlite latest source tarball from (http://pysqlite.org/) * Follow their respectives installation instructions. * '''NOTE (sqlite)''': The sqlite OS X install instructions that I found said to configure with the '--disable-shared' option, claiming that OS X's libtool is busted and thus generates bad dynamic/shared libraries. However, disabling shared libraries generated an error during the make install step, because one of the install scripts looks for a shared library (identified by extension .dylib) regardless of the configure options. So, in good UNIX fashion, I ignored the instructions and tried it with the shared libraries. I did a 'make test' and all the regression tests passed, so it seems that the problem with libtool has been fixed and '--disable-shared' is no longer necessary. * '''NOTE (pysqlite)''': The build step ('python setup.py build') failed with a "No such file or directory" error on "/opt/local/lib". I opened up setup.py and found that for OS X (and only OS X), it sets the lib path to /opt/local/lib. On my system, this was wrong, so I changed it to /usr/local/lib. * '''NOTE (pysqlite)''': Just to clear up any confusion regarding API versions - and this probably only applies if you're going to use SQLite 3, either installed by hand or as shipped with OS X 10.4 - PySQLite v2.0x will not work with Trac (as of 0.9-pre). Instead, get the latest stable 1.1.x (1.1.6 as of this writing) version. === clearsilver === * Get latest source tarball from (http://www.clearsilver.net/) * Installation procedure slightly different from those given by TracOnOsx {{{ cd ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-python=/usr/bin/python --disable-ruby make # >>> here modify first line of scripts/document.py to use same python sudo make install }}} === docutils === * Get latest source tarball from (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/). * Standard distutils installation. === trac === * Standard distutils installation * Will put executables and shared files in: {{{ /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/trac* /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/share/trac/* }}} For setting up access from Apache, see TracInstall, TracOnOsx, TracMultipleProjects. == Creating a trac environment == First choose a location for your subversion repository, e.g. {{{/var/svn/test}}}, and one for you trac environment, e.g. {{{/var/trac/test}}}. === svn repository === Specifying {{{fs-type}}} is actually not necessary, as we have built
