I'm using python script for version control to TestFlight. While building I get some error. I don't know anything about python. What's the problem here?
XCode Version: 4.4
OS: Mountain Lion 10.8
MacBook PRO mid2009

Answer 1

This appears to be the key part of the message:
$MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now "10.7" but "10.8" during
configure
Whatever toolset you are using was configured under Mountain Lion but is now running under Lion, and yet you claim the opposite.
You don't specify what toolset you are using, but it looks like you are going to have to set it up again under your new O/S.

Answer 2

It's a little wonky, but if you edit your .bash_profile and add:
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8
You should be okay. I had this same problem when trying to run post-review.

Answer 3

I found the solution, go into your /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/distutils/sysconfig.py
Goto line 408 that says "raise DistutilsPlatformError" and add a '#' to comment out that line of code... This will "unleash the python"
You are basically telling python "don't worry its not 10.7, I know" there could be some crashes as a result but I think otherwise. My very complex python applicaiton now compiles on MacOSX 10.8 with no troubles and it seems to do the job, QA still has to test it though.
