[Qgis-developer] Sextante - OTB plugin and SAR data in Mac OS X

[Noli Sicad]

Hi Julien,

Thanks for this instruction how to build / compile and install OTB for
Mac OS X and make QGIS Sextante OTB python plugin working in OS X.

I am using William's frameworks, "standard configure, make and make
install", and supplement things using Homebrew if I can't make things
working with the "standard configure...".

I think I can easily achieve those dependencies you mentioned.

Looking at this cmake script, it seems that ITK is not needed after all.

Yes, I will have a go on this script (i.e. edit it) and see if I can
make it working.

Thanks again for your help.

Regards,

Noli
