[GRASS-user] GRASS GIS 7.03 for Mac OS X, problem with wxPython (missing)

[William Kyngesburye]

This is also a known issue, related to but separate from the packaging issue.  During compilation, GRASS also uses DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the in-compilation copies of the libraries so it can run the modules to create the help files.

The packaging issue with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH can be fixed in packaging so that everything within the GRASS app package looks directly inside the package for libraries and not rely on DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Homebrew, Macports and /usr/local builds don't need to worry about it because the extra dependencies that are bundled in the app are already in their proper place.

The compilation issue needs work to compile all libraries with the temporary path inside the libraries and modules (this part is easy) so that during compilation help file generation works.  And then during installation change all the embedded library paths to the final destination (this is harder, to figure out the complex makefile include system of GRASS to get this operation in the right place).  Homebrew, Macports, /usr/local AND app installs do have a problem with this.  It works for Michael (and me) for the "official" packages because we compile on older systems that don't have SIP.
