Does not build on OSX

[rmprosser]

Running:

./distribute.sh -m openssl

I get (after some time):

Leaving ARM environment

@kived ?

mktemp works differently on OS X, which I did not know when adding that feature. There was a PR (#344) which fixed usage on OS X, which was previously merged, but I ended up reverting it (#349) because it broke Linux builds. I asked the author of that PR to make it work on both Linux and OS X, but that never happened.

I don't have access to OS X and can't test it, otherwise I'd fix it myself.

I tried the patch from that pull request, but I still get:

Just tried on an Ubuntu machine and I get a very similar error

[kived]

Ubuntu is my primary platform, I can assure you that p4a works there. You must include kivy in the module list when you build your distribution. And that is a different issue than the original issue, which is with the envsave/envrestore functionality.

[rmprosser]

@kived I was not including kivy. When I change to running:

./distribute.sh -f -m openssl kivy

I'm getting the same error...

[kived]

The module list needs to be a single argument:

./distribute.sh -f -m 'openssl kivy'

[rmprosser]

@kived thanks! I think I'm most of the way there. Getting "Error compiling Cython file" several times now, followed by:

kivy/graphics/vbo.c:1:2: error: #error Do not use this file, it is the result of a failed Cython compilation.
 #error Do not use this file, it is the result of a failed Cython compilation.
  ^
 error: command 'ccache' failed with exit status 1

Could it be my cython is a bad version?

[kived]

If you are using Cython 0.22, then yes. :) This will be the case if you installed via pip, in which case you can run sudo pip install -I Cython==0.21.2 to fix it.

Thanks! Got it working.
