[Gnumed-devel] gnumed on MacOSX

[Tony Lembke]

Gerhard of pypgsql was very helpful and this module  now builds and 
installs on MacOSX - so all the bits are together.

(There is still an error getting gnumed.py to run and am working on 
that.
The error is at the very bottom of this message if anyone has any 
suggestions)

Here are the instructions that Gerardo may like to add to the 
user-manual


-------------------------------------

GnuMED on MacOSX 10.2


----------
System
----------

Install the Developer's applications from the Developer's CD that comes 
with MacOSX10.2
Make sure you have installed security update 2002-08-23 as well as 
MaxOSX 10.2


----------------------------------------------
Instaling Python and wxWindows
----------------------------------------------

Download the latest versions of MachoPython and wxPythonOSX from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10718

The versions at time of writing (8 Sept 2002) were 
MachoPython-2.2.1-4.dmg and wxPythonOSX-2.3.3pre6.dmg respectively.

These files are disk images. Open and  install them by doubleclicking 
the MachoPython.pkg package and then wxPythonOSX.pkg


-----------------------------
Install mx extensions
-----------------------------

Download the mx extensions from 
http://www.egenix.com/files/python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.3.tar.gz
(The latest version can be found at 
http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/eGenix-mx-Extensions.html)

The .tar.gz file will be uncompressed as egenix-mx-base-2.0.3

Open the terminal application and CD to the directory 
egenix-mx-base-2.0.3
type-
su root
password
python setup.py install
exit

----------------------------
Installing postgresql
-----------------------------

Good instructions for installing Postgresql from binary on MaxOSX 10.2 
are available at
http://www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/postgresql/

Also install the StartUp Item script (available on the same web page) 
so that postgresql is loaded at system startup.

To include /usr/local/bin in the command path, enter this command
echo 'setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.tcshrc

-------------------------
Installing pypgsql
-------------------------

Download the source code from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16528

You may need to se a text editor to edit the file setup.py in the 
untarred folder pypgsql
so that the lines starting include_dirs and library_dirs look like this 
-

include_dirs  = [ "/usr/local/pgsql/include" ]
library_dirs  = [ "/usr/local/pgsql/lib" ]

In the terminal, go to the pypgsql directory and type
python setup.py build

If you have build errors, download the setup.py file from
http://www.gnumed.org/directory/documents/144/setup.py
move it to the pypgsql directory, and repeat the command.

Wait for the build to finish and then type
sudo python setup.py install
(Enter your root password when prompted)

To test the install, type
python test/PgSQLTestCases.py


--------------------------------
Download gnumed cvs
--------------------------------
Open a new terminal window, and type

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gnumed login

Just press 'return' when asked for a password
the type

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gnumed checkout 
gnumed

All the gnumed files will be downloaded to your hard drive

Configuring postgres for Gnumed

From your home directory, go to the directory gnumed/gnumed/server/sql
cd ~/gnumed/gnumed/server/sql

type
su postgres
Enter your postgres password
createdb gnumed

Instructions on initialising the gnumed databases will follow - when 
they are ready.

This is not a valid path, however.
