I have a Mac!

Here are my old instructions (I deleted them when I started using Apple's libraries, but the wayback machine saves the day):

Thanks Russell -- this is helpful. A few comments:

        • If you plan to redistribute matplotlib, delete (or temporarily move) the dynamic library so matplotlib statically links to libpng:
% sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libpng*.dylib

I've found that passing --disable-shared works to prevent the dylibs
from being built at all. At least with libpng.

        • To check if a library is universal, run "file" on it, e.g.:
% file /usr/local/lib/libpng*.a

this doesn't work for me on *.a files -- though it does on dylibs

        • Before building, you may wish to modify include/freetype/configure/ftoption.h to enable hinting:
                • uncomment: #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
                • perhaps comment out: #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING

handy to know.

Thanks,

-Chris
