[Qgis-user] QGIS with SAGA in macos

[William Kyngesburye]

Well, I have verified that SAGA 2.0.8 does NOT compile on OS X, and that seems to be the semi-official status also.  2.1 is needed for OS X.

So, please make that update for the export command for SAGA 2.1.  If the change breaks it for SAGA 2.0, it shoud be possible to make it conditional on the SAGA version.
