[GRASS-dev] wxGUI on mac

[William Kyngesburye]

From my tests, the problem is not 64bit wxpython, it's wxpython 2.9 Cocoa.  The GUI crashes on startup for both 64bit and 32bit modes.

The 2.9 Cocoa build is an absolute must for Lion because (as I understand it) all the last deprecated Carbon APIs have been removed.  wxpython 2.8 (Carbon) built for the python 2.6 on Snow *seems* to work on Lion, though there may be some hidden Carbon dependencies that won't cause trouble until they're used.  And for some it crashes when quitting the GUI.
