I definitely hope so. It is just that among the developers, not many are
using OS X (I am not a developer)!

It is interesting, that GRASS is the only program I know / use, which
does not run under El Capitan. Most of the others had hick ups, but the
problems were solved (XTraFinder is an exception) eventually, and none
requires disabling of SIP.

I don't really understand where the problem with SIP comes in (except of
the DYN_LIB variable?), as what GRASS is doing, nowhere interferes with
the system (XTraFinder uses code Injection to change the behaviour of
the Finder - so that is different).

See https://www.docker.com/ - docker is open source and it runs on Mac
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/mac/ .

But I completely agree that GRASS should stay multi-platform - but I
guess something in the compilation / packaging / running structure has
to change for this.

Cheers,

Rainer
