[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7 crashes on startup on Mac

Fri Jun 7 08:28:24 PDT 2013

Maybe it is PYTHONPATH

BUT...

Python and the GUI is compiling and working just fine otherwise. And Python runs with no problem in the terminal.

The bogus errors for compiling mapswipe, composer, etc first appeared with what I think was the introduction of a new window class for these modules. I have not seen the toolbox, but it may reuse the same code. If I knew what this new code is, I might be able to troubleshoot it. But I don't have time to try to reverse engineer it without guidance as to where to look. The error on importing wx is misleading as to what the real error is.

I can't say for sure that these are all related (and the error is indeed somewhat different for the toolbox compilation). But it seems a reasonable place to start.

If it IS a PYTHONPATH problem, then the code for building the toolbox is somehow ignoring PYTHONPATH because this is set properly otherwise.

Anna,

This is from the log. It looks to me like a path problem during compilation

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(main())
  File "tools/build_modules_xml.py", line 77, in main

  File "tools/build_modules_xml.py", line 58, in header

make: [default] Error 2 (ignored)
make xml/menudata.xml
make[1]: `xml/menudata.xml' is up to date.
make menustrings.py

The other bogus errors on "No module named wx" also seems like a path problem.

yes, problem might be in PYTHONPATH. Could you ask about this William? I have currently no time and I am probably not able to solve this.

Regards,

Anna

OK. I did this remotely but hopefully it is what you need.

yes, perfect, thanks. Could you try the compilation again with the change William did recently (demolocation probem, [1])? It might be related because from the errors in the log it seems that the virtual grass session is not there. If the problem is still there, please send me updated compilation log.

Thanks,
Anna

Are you looking for the entire output from make?

just the make you run from gui/wxpython

Is the makefile output saved somewhere? I'm not at my office computer, but can access it remotely.

redirecting to file like this:

make 1> log.txt 2>&1

While this workaround works for me, it doesn't help as much for all the people who use my binaries.

OK. We are getting somewhere.

If I cd to the ../gui/wxpython directory inside the GRASS-7.0.app and run python core/toolboxes.py > xml/menudata.xml, it appears to create the menudata.xml file

GRASS then launches fine. It continues to launch fine subsequently.

Hm, so the problem is probably in the Makefile. Could you send me the whole make output (after make distclean)? Unfortunately I have very limited understanding of makefile rules, I was glad I made it work on my computer. At least you can use grass7 with this workaround now.

Still crashes.

Perhaps I discovered the problem. Both the distribution version (downloaded in the past hour) and (of course) the compiled version of menudata.xml are empty.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Could you try to run this separately:

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

I assumed that you want me to run this from the GRASS terminal prompt???

yes. Have you run this from gui/wxpython directory? At least xml directory must be there.

python core/toolboxes.py > xml/menudata.xml
bash: xml/menudata.xml: No such file or directory

It's strange that Massimo recently compiled grass7 (with wxpython 2.9, but it should not be related, no gui is actually involved in this problem) and he didn't complain about this (Massimo, is that right?).
