[GRASS-dev] no more GRASS 7 for Mac

[Michael Barton]

I wanted to compile GRASS 7 again to post new binaries. But now the workaround that Anna and I worked out a couple months back no longer works.

In the workaround, I start GRASS 7 and let it crash back to the terminal. Then I cd to ../gui/wxpython and run…

python core/toolboxes.py > xml/menudata.xml

This builds a new menudata.xml file.

That still works. But when I try to launch the GUI, I get the following error.

So whatever has been done since 25 June, when I last did this successfully, has broken it further. Perhaps that can help you guys figure out what is going wrong.

Note that this may work with Python 2.7 and wxPython 2.9 unstable (that's what you used in the Spring I believe). But is does not work with the stock Mac Python 2.6 and wxPython 2.8 any more. That is a problem for users of Mac OS X 10.6 unless installing MacPython 2.7 will solve it.
