[GRASS-dev] Grass on MacOS (Ken Mankoff)

Tue Jan 16 17:53:29 PST 2018

Michael,

thank you for the dmg file - great news - I was able to get GRASS running on my new laptop in less than 10 minutes including download. On first double click it refused to open that it is not verfied but it allowed me to open it by clicking on it and selecting Open in the menu ( I remebered that trick from the past).

I noticed that it does not have r.in.lidar (I am aware of the issue) but nviz and map swipe runs, g.gui.animation  has a problem. Anyway it is fantastic to have GRASS Mac binary back - thank you all for the effort,

Helena

Or am I just not seeing it? I will try inserting the new start up scripts into my own build tomorrow and see if it works the same.

Basically, the Grass72.app/Contents/MacOS/Grass script now opens up a terminal and, within that terminal, executes the startup script (the one we were using before, which is now Grass.sh).

>>> 
>>> With a lot of help from colleague Eric Hutton (Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System), we are very close to having a reproducible and distributable build of GRASS under Anaconda. Our goal is to compile GRASS in an Anaconda environment so that it is distributable in two related ways: as a standard Mac package and app, and as an Anaconda package (installed via the command 'conda install [grass version]'). This will be a fully 64 bit GRASS version using wxPython 3 for the GUI.

But as of this week we are down to one main baffling and annoying problem left to solve. Then we can do some clean up and begin making this build available to test. With that in mind, if anyone has experience in creating Mac *.app and *.pkg environments for distribution, please get in touch. You might be able to help us get over the last hurdle.
