Hi all, I have developed a set python libraries that provide several scientific methods to analyse and visualize certain type of biological data. This libraries are based on many external python modules, such as python-mysql python-sip or python-qt4. I use GNU/linux to develop my tools and I found no problems into installing all dependencies, however it does not seem to be that easy on MacOS. I am sure that all the dependencies (qt4, pyqt4 , mysqldb, scipy, numpy) are cross platform, but when you are trying to publish your tool in an academic journal, most referees (many of them using MacOS) expect some kind of straightforward installation process for the tool.
I wonder if there would be a way in which I could compile all the dependencies and libraries in a MacOs system and then building a static universal binary that I can distribute. I guess it should be possible, but I am not sure how difficult it might be, and whether all dependencies (qt4 is huge) can be packaged together. Any help is more than welcome! Best regards, Jaime.
