I've managed to compile Python 3.5 from source setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 on the Makefile (after doing ./configure). But by default it compiles Python to a static library, which is quite ok, but I am having trouble compiling to a "Framework", which I think would give me the dynamic library.

Although Python is widely used, everything related to these kind of things seems to be poorly documented..

Edit: just need to do "./configure --enable-shared" and it will compile Python as shared library (libpython3.5m.dylib)..

I think I have set CFLAGS to something like "-arch x86_64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.8″ when running ./configure to autoconf projects.

It's not really specific to Python, so "poorly documented" isn't a surprise.

For Python you just need to do "./configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8"..

I'm creating another blog post with all the info I got from this thread, regarding compiling Python from sources. I'm going to put the link here when ready..
