[GRASS-dev] trying to compile GRASS 7 on Mavericks

I was able to compile and open GRASS 7 under Mavericks. Here is what I’ve done so far.

1. I had to uninstall and reinstall Xcode and the CommandLineTools. You may or may not have to do this. If you have not yet updated Xcode, you should delete your existing Xcode before doing so. There are several approaches to doing this depending on how you installed it. There are references to using an Uninstall_Devtools utility that supposedly lives in /Library/Developer. I’ve never had this. If you installed from the app store, you need to open the launch pad and delete Xcode from there. AFAIK, there is no way to delete the CommandLineTools (unless you want to do it one by one). I also installed the AuxTools because I had these before. I don’t know that I need them though.

2. I also installed wxPython 2.9.5 so I can compile in 64bit Python 2.7. I also installed all the current frameworks from William’s site (I only had to update to GDAL 1.10)

3. I had to drop out of my configuration script reference to gettext and odbc. I supposed I need to recompile gettext under Mavericks (and maybe LAS but I don’t yet know). But I don’t know where the ODBC issue is coming from. I didn’t explicitly install that previously.

4. I opened a terminal window, cd to the proper source directory and then typed…

export CXX=g++


5. I configured with…

./configure --with-freetype --with-freetype-includes="/Library/Frameworks/FreeType.framework/unix/include/freetype2 /Library/Frameworks/FreeType.framework/unix/include" --with-freetype-libs=/Library/Frameworks/FreeType.framework/unix/lib --with-gdal=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/gdal-config --with-proj --with-proj-includes=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/include --with-proj-libs=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix/lib --with-proj-share=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Resources/proj --with-geos=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/Versions/3/unix/bin/geos-config --with-jpeg-includes=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix/include --with-jpeg-libs=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix/lib --with-png-includes=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix/include --with-png-libs=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix/lib --with-tiff-includes=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix/include --with-tiff-libs=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/unix/lib --with-cairo --with-cairo-includes="/Library/Frameworks/cairo.framework/unix/include/cairo /Library/Frameworks/cairo.framework/unix/include" --with-cairo-libs=/Library/Frameworks/cairo.framework/unix/lib --with-cairo-ldflags="-lcairo" --without-postgres --without-mysql --with-sqlite --with-sqlite-libs=/Library/Frameworks/SQLite3.framework/unix/lib --with-sqlite-includes=/Library/Frameworks/SQLite3.framework/unix/include --with-fftw-includes=/Library/Frameworks/FFTW3.framework/unix/include --with-fftw-libs=/Library/Frameworks/FFTW3.framework/unix/lib --with-x --with-cxx --with-opengl=aqua --without-readline --prefix=/Applications/GRASS --enable-macosx-app --with-python --with-wxwidgets=/usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.5.0/bin/wx-config --with-tcltk-includes="/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Headers /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/PrivateHeaders" --with-tcltk-libs="/usr/local/tcltk_active/lib" --with-macosx-archs="i386 x86_64" --with-liblas="/usr/local/bin/liblas-config" --with-opencl

6. I ran…

make GDAL_DYNAMIC=

7. I ran…

make bindist


Making a binary distribution package partly failed. I got a GRASS app but not a package, because the packagemaker is no longer with the AuxTools. I’ll need guidance from William as to how to use whatever new package making tools are in the Dev Tools.


So far, I have not compiled for 10.7 compatibility or bundled wxPython (I’m doing that now)

wxPython still crashes on startup due to its inability to create menutree.xml and module_tree_menudata.xml. I have to do a work around. I was hoping that this might clear up with Python 2.7 and wxPython 2.9. But it has not. So this is a problem in the code and not in trying to maintain backward compatibility. 


Once I did all this, GRASS 7 launches. It looks different with wxPython 2.9—more Linux like and less Maclike to my eyes. 

Also, the terminal begins kicking out the following message every second or so:

2013-12-04 15:31:50.761 Python[78631:d0b] CoreText performance note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using name ".Lucida Grande UI" and got font with PostScript name ".LucidaGrandeUI". For best performance, only use PostScript names when calling this AP

This needs to be fixed.

I’ll keep you all informed about compiling for Lion and packaging wxPython.
