[GRASS-dev] GRASS and Mac OS X El Capitan

Wed Oct 7 11:38:21 PDT 2015

It is especially good news that GRASS compiles in El Capitan. I cannot use HomeBrew for binaries for distributions, but this means that I should be able to compile it after upgrading. Nonetheless, I’ll do at least one more binary compiled under Yosemite.
