→Gramps 3.x and EXIF Editing: Update for git, fix some formatting.
== Gramps 3.x and EXIF Editing ==
Gramps 3.3.0 introduced a new module, EXIF Editing, which has two tricky dependencies that JHBuild doesn't know how to handle. Thanks to Gtk+-3, these have been replaced in Gramps-4.0 (and trunk<tt>master</tt>) with a module that JHBuild ''can '' build, so ```'''these instructions apply only to Gramps-3.4.x```'''. In order to evade the persnickityness of jhbuild's dependencies, they're given as "soft" dependencies -- you have to add them to your modules list. If you don't, Gramps will still build fine, you'll just get a warning notice about Exiv2 not being installed.
'''Warning:'''Boost-python will not successfully build with either the 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or 10.7 (Lion) SDKs. With 10.7 it won't build at all; with 10.6, it will build but will crash Python on import. Consequently you can't build EXIF editing using Lionor later, since earlier SDKs are not available.
The first is [http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/ Boost-python], a python interface for C++ provided as part of [http://www.boost.org/ Boost]. It uses its own build system, bjam. Since jhbuild doesn't know how to use bjam, it will download the package for you, then error out. Select item 4, "start a shell", and do the following:
Gramps has an optional dependency on WebKit, which is used for the <tt>html-renderer</tt> add-on. If for some reason you want to use this add-on, add <tt>WebKit</tt> to your list of dependencies but be aware that it take a long time to build.
'''''WebKit will not build on 10.4 (Tiger) or earlier systems, nor will it build against a 10.4 SDK. You must be running 10.5 (Leopard) or newer for this procedure to succeed!'''''
== Bundling ==
The next step is to create an application bundle. You'll need gtk-mac-bundler, so follow the instructions in the [http://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX/Bundling Gtk-OSX Wiki] to download and install it.
