My CentOS 6 machine is running Python2.7 alongside the default Python 2.6. A user wanted me to install Pygame. Pygame is in the yum repos but only for python 2.6. How to get it for Python 2.7?
I started with this: http://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileRedHat?parent=Compilation
That had me install a bunch of RPMs (remember to enable repos like EPEL and RPMFusion). Unfortunately, that repo does *not* have the smpeg and smpeg-devel packages. I can find smpeg and smpeg-devel for Centos5 but not for Centos6. For CentOS 6, I can only find libsmpeg and libsmpeg-devel.
I crossed my fingers and installed that.
I then did:
# As user do the following hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame cd pygame python2.7 setup.py No Arguments Given, Perform Default Install? [Y/n]Y WARNING, No "Setup" File Exists, Running "config.py" Using UNIX configuration... Hunting dependencies... SDL : found 1.2.14 FONT : found IMAGE : found MIXER : found SMPEG : found 0.4.5 PNG : found JPEG : found SCRAP : found PORTMIDI: found PORTTIME: not found AVFORMAT: not found SWSCALE : not found FREETYPE: found 2.3.11 Warning, some of the pygame dependencies were not found. Pygame can still compile and install, but games that depend on those missing dependencies will not run. Would you like to continue the configuration? [Y/n]:
Note that it *did* find SMPEG! (The first time I ran setup.py (not shown), it failed to find SMPEG.)
Success!
