<div class="">I've been working off and on for the past several month to find a new way to compile and distribute GRASS for Mac with all dependencies created outside the Mac system folders and bundled with it. The goal is to eliminate the SIP problem and the
potential for conflicts with different versions of dependencies/frameworks/python/wxpython. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">With a lot of help from colleague Eric Hutton (Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System), we are very close to having a reproducible and distributable build of GRASS under Anaconda. Our goal is to compile GRASS in an Anaconda environment so
that it is distributable in two related ways: as a standard Mac package and app, and as an Anaconda package (installed via the command 'conda install [grass version]'). This will be a fully 64 bit GRASS version using wxPython 3 for the GUI.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Due to the many other responsibilities and pulls on our time, Eric and I have only been able to work sporadically. But as of this week we are down to one main baffling and annoying problem left to solve. Then we can do some clean up and begin
making this build available to test. With that in mind, if anyone has experience in creating Mac *.app and *.pkg environments for distribution, please get in touch. You might be able to help us get over the last hurdle.</div>

glad to hear you got GRASS working on OS X w/ MacPorts. That is the system I use too. I recently switched from HomeBrew. I got GRASS working with fink too, but prefer MacPorts, although there are some MacPort-specific issues if you want to use the temporal

Thanks, but…I use Macports for a bunch of things, and homebrew and<br class="">
maports don’t play well together. So, I can’t easily do that. I did<br class="">
get the macports version to work after I asked the question. It was<br class="">
actually just due to the fact that I have been using the Kyngchoas<br class="">
version for a long time, and that used to require that GRASS_PYTHON be<br class="">
set in .bash_profile. But, I had set it to point to an old directory a<br class="">
while back, and that folder didn’t exist. So, I just had to delete<br class="">
that environmental variable and the macports version now works fine.<br class="">
And, the Kyngchaos version of qgis does seem to work fine.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose that it would be useful to have<br class="">
working binaries to avoid these kinds of issues.<br class="">
