Currently these bindings are for Mac OS X only. They only wrap the core openFrameworks library (don't include any of the addons).
OpenFrameworks is a C++ library designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation.
The library is designed to work as a general purpose glue, and wraps together several commonly used libraries under a tidy interface: OpenGL for graphics, rtAudio for audio input and output, freeType for fonts, freeImage for image input and output, Quicktime for video playing and sequence grabbing.
For more information see http://www.openframeworks.cc.
- openFrameworks 0062
- Python - tested with 2.6.5
- SWIG - tested with version 2.0.1
Copy the pyof folder to your openFrameworks root folder. The location is important, as the openFrameworks libraries are linked using relative path names. The directory structure should look like this:
openFrameworks
|
--- addons
|
--- apps
|
--- libs
|
--- other
|
--- pyof
|
--- scripts
|
--- xcode templates
In the pyof folder, run the following command to build the extension module:
$ python setup.py build
Then to install the module in your Python site-packages directory:
$ python setup.py install
Finally, if you do not have a copy of the fmodex dynamic library in your /usr/local/lib folder (or equivalent), run the following command:
sudo cp ../libs/fmodex/lib/osx/libfmodex.dylib /usr/local/lib
As the Quicktime framework is 32-bit only, you must use a version of Python that supports 32-bit. The version is provided by Apple and that comes with Snow Leopard is compiled for PPC, i386 and x86_64 architectures. If you build your own version of Python, make sure that the i386 architecture is included at least.
The following commands will build and install Python for i386 and x86_64 (Intel processors) on Snow Leopard:
./configure --enable-framework
--enable-universalsdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
--with-universal-archs=intel
make
sudo make frameworkinstall
Have a look at the file sinewave.py in the examples folder.
