[Qgis-developer] [Quantum GIS] #739: GRASS Shell non-functional in OS X

[John C. Tull]

Thanks for checking. I tried to look at the grasshell source files  
yesterday, but I got beyond my capacity to do much besides break  
things during the compile process. I noticed that a number of legacy  
qt3 functions are being used to get this running under qt4 (Q3CString,  
for example). I know qt3 support was always fairly flaky in OS X, so I  
wouldn't be surprised if this carryover legacy code might have  
something to do with it. Pure speculation though.
