[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7.0 beta3 problems on Mac

[Michael Barton]

For interest (and with a little hope of solving this problem), I tried compiling with the new wxPython 3.0 cocoa, which is both 32 and 64 bit. But there are still errors in making the problematic xml files. Here is one:

============================ error =============

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make /Users/cmbarton/grass_source/grass7_dev/dist.x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0/gui/wxpython/xml/menudata.xml

ERROR: wxGUI requires wxPython. No module named wxversion

make[3]: [default] Error 2 (ignored)

==============================================

Now, even though the path is correct and I’m running a 32/64 bit version of wxPython, it gives a bogus message about a lack of wxversion. And it still does not launch the GUI, giving the same errors

Similarly, the same wxGUI modules using the newish windowing environment list as not compiling. Now they give a different error than one about 32/64 bit incompatibilities, suggesting that the previous error was indeed bogus, although something incorrect is going now. Here is the new error message. Clearly bogus.

==============================================


So in spite of the error messages, it is not a 32 bit/64 bit problem.

The problem with starting GRASS has to do with the fact that a couple of the xml files for the new (and still unused?) “toolbox” do not get made. But SOME of them DO get made. Here is the call that successfully makes one of the xml files and a call that fails. Note that the full path is not specified in the one that fails.

This one works:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make /Users/cmbarton/grass_source/grass7_rb/dist.x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0/gui/wxpython/xml/module_items.xml

This one fails:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make xml/menudata.xml

Looks to me like it SHOULD be calling
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make /Users/cmbarton/grass_source/grass7_rb/dist.x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0/gui/wxpython/xml/menudata.xml


This sounds good although I cannot really say because I know nothing (or just very few) about makefiles and I'm puzzled by the fact that changing target in make causes change in architecture-environmental settings (since your command runs).

If I missed some guide to GRASS makefiles, let me know. (The only guide I tried to use was the book Die GNU Autotools because of its promising title.)
