[GRASS-dev] New attempt to update GRASS for Mac

[Michael Barton]

Here is a little bit from one of the discussions on an error like we have reported:

-----

Usually the programmer hasn't observed case-sensitivity or something wasn't added to the target.

The error is issued by the linker (ld) because it can't resolve a reference to a symbol.

Understood.

Currently, we very much need new Mac binaries. So in this case, I think it will be more useful to find out how to fix this on the Mac and then get on a Linux box and generalize it for Anaconda, so it can be even more widely available.

So I'm hoping for some input on this error if anyone out there has a thought.

I've googled it and it seems to show up under a number of circumstances. The discussion has not been particularly clear, but seems to suggest issues in linking--maybe that could be solved by a minor change in the make file. But nothing I've read so far seems directly relevant to the GRASS case.

Doing this in Docker is another step after we work this out. One step at a time.

The goal at the moment is to do this on and for the Mac. So we might or might not get the same results on Linux, but it would not be relevant to issues on the Mac.

My point is that if you do it in Docker other people can test it, i.e. Docker as means to an end. For that, you need to do it on Linux rather than Mac, but it would be still Anaconda. Once you get that working, you can test if that works on Mac or you need to do additional changes. However, it is possible that sharing the development through Docker does not have enough benefits considering the possible differences between Anaconda on Linux and on Mac.
