[GRASS-user] 7.0.0 Mac OS X Install Notes

[William Kyngesburye]

Sorry, I just responded to the list email, I was curious about GSL when I looked at your page.

GDAL Complete and Freetype is needed for PIL and cairo.

I think that GSL is there simply because I went to your frameworks site and pulled in all frameworks you had on the main page. But you're right. I don't use it in my configure AFAICT. I suppose I should remove it it if doesn't do anything.

AFAIK, the only permissions issue is the need to have a writeable director called "bin" inside the GRASS folder if you are installing extensions. This is a weird quirk of the extensions build system on the Mac. If there is a new permissions issue for 7.0 stable, it needs to be reported. But I have built it in exactly the same way as I've built all other builds recently.
