byobu on Mountain Lion

byobu_mountain_lion.txt

byobu requires the newt python libraries, however the libnewt provided by Macports is configured with the "--without-python" flag.

Since we only need the python .so's, we can just build newt and copy the python bits by hand into the Macports python directories.

- sudo port install coreutils gsed python2.7
- Make sure the depends_lib from https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/libnewt/Portfile are installed (i.e. sudo port install gettext popt tcl slang2)
- cd ~/Downloads
- Download https://fedorahosted.org/releases/n/e/newt/newt-0.52.14.tar.gz
- tar zxvf newt-0.52.14.tar.gz
- cd newt-0.52.14
- patch newt (patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/patch.diff) with the patches from https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/libnewt/files
- ./configure
- make
- sudo cp snack.py /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
- sudo cp python2.7/_snackmodule.so /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload

- cd ~/Downloads
- Download https://launchpad.net/byobu/trunk/5.21/+download/byobu_5.21.orig.tar.gz
- tar zxvf byobu_5.21.orig.tar.gz
- cd byobu_5.21.orig
- ./configure
- make
- make install
- change all python scripts in byobu to use #!/opt/local/bin/python2.7
