Notmuch on os x?

Notmuch on os x?

[Bart Bunting]

Hi all,

Has anyone compiled notmuch for the mac?

If so how?  I'm new to the mac and can find xapian but not the other
libraries notmuch requires.

TIA

Bart

I *just* did this a couple hours ago for the first time.  I think I already 
had all the dependancies installed previously.  I'm pretty sure I built 
xapian by hand.  Talloc and GMime I installed via macports.

I ran into an issue with running notmuch from any directory other than the 
notmuch/lib source directory because the binary was linked to 
`libnotmuch.1.dylib` and not `/usr/local/lib/libnotmuch.1.dylib`.  Running 
the following command on the binary seemed to fix that problem, though I'm 
not sure why it occurred in the first place.

	sudo install_name_tool -change libnotmuch.1.dylib \ 
	/usr/local/lib/libnotmuch.1.dylib /usr/local/bin/notmuch

As a followup to this, I've now started playing around a bit with notmuch on 
OS X.  I'd be really interested in the Python bindings, but they are most 
definitely not working for me.  I pointed the CDLL call in globals.py to my 
libnotmuch (/usr/local/lib/libnotmuch.1.dylib - I have no idea if I was 
supposed to do something else), but when I run notmuch.py, just as a test, I 
get a segmentation fault.

I'm sure I'm doing something totally wrong here.  For what it's worth, 
libnotmuch.1.dylib is x86_64 as is the Python that I'm trying to access it 
with.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I have done the python bindings so far. But, I won't be able to help
with that. I have barely any experience with interfacing libs from
python and definitely none doing so on Mac OSX. I just happen to love
Python :)

I gathered you loved Python judging by your activity on the offlineimap 
group :)

I figured it was a long shot asking about it here since it seems like it's 
probably an issue specific to OS X (and maybe only on my system).  For what 
it's worth, other library bindings work fine with their respective bindings, 
and from what I can tell, it's not a problem with the notmuch Python 
bindings themselves, but something to do with how libnotmuch.1.dylib has 
been compiled on my system...

I don't think it's an i386/x86_64 issue, since Iibnotmuch is x86_64 and I've 
tested it with two 64 bit versions of Python, 2.6.1 (included with OS X 
10.6) and 2.7.1 from python.org.
