Has anyone compiled GRASS 7.0 on MacOS Mavricks? Any tips?
Thanks,

Micha,

i use homebrew to satisfy the dependencies for grass7

./configure
–with-opengl-includes=/opt/X11/include/
–with-opengl-libs=/opt/X11/lib/
–with-cairo-includes=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.16/include/cairo/
–with-cairo-libs=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.16/lib/
–with-freetype-includes=/usr/local/include/freetype2
–with-blas
–with-geos
–with-lapack
–with-netcdf
–with-odbc
–with-pthread
–with-postgres
–with-sqlite
–with-wxwidgets=/usr/local/Cellar/wxmac/3.0.0.0/bin/wx-config

the build ends with Errors in:
/Users/epi/dev/grass7_trunk/lib/nviz
/Users/epi/dev/grass7_trunk/misc/m.nviz.image
/Users/epi/dev/grass7_trunk/visualization/wximgview

The modules are all fully functionals but because i use python from home-brew as well (not the system one)
it is 64 bit and is not compatible with wx-2.8 … i have wx3.0 installed (that’s 64bit) but the main gui doesn’t start.
This the log from :

g.gui gui=wxpython

Launching GUI in the background, please wait…

Thanks.
We would be satisfied to get it working without the gui for now. But even that threw many more errors when compiling.

We had to have a huge configure line, pointing many --with-xxx-includes= and --with-xxx-libs= to the /usr/local/Cellar directory. Otherwise it did not find them.

This looks like a problem to link wxWidgets (the C++ library, not the

Python binding wxPython).

This is probably caused by the fact that compilation for gui/wxpython/xml

failed. I secretly hoped that this will be improved by r59485, are you
using that version? The workaround used before was delete
dist.../etc/gui/wxpython/xml and then run compilation of gui/wxpython
inside GRASS session.

build_modules_xml.py on Windows (TODO: replace this workaround))
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2014-March/067876.html (get

This is actually standard behavior. Probably not documented well. This is

how g.region parameters are handled. Use `g.region --ui`.

That’s correct, for some reason seems that it doesn’t detect the right architecture :

This looks like a problem to link wxWidgets (the C++ library, not the Python binding wxPython).

i fixed this adding a sim. link in use/local

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/wxmac/3.0.0.0/lib/libwx_osx_cocoau-3.0.0.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

The modules are all fully functionals but because i use python from home-brew as well (not the system one)
it is 64 bit and is not compatible with wx-2.8 … i have wx3.0 installed (that’s 64bit) but the main gui doesn’t start.

thanks! i followed this procedure, now the gui starts and it is usable.

a problem witth Wx font already reported previously :

http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2013-December/066536.html

is still here, i have this log printed in the shell all the time i use the gui :

2014-04-02 23:31:51.720 Python[78021:d07] CoreText performance note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using name “.Lucida Grande UI” and got font with PostScript name “.LucidaGrandeUI”. For best performance, only use PostScript names when calling this API.

i know it is a known problem,
http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=38311
i hoped it was a 2.9 bug … while it still here with wx3.0

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/59485 (modify Rules.make to fix build_modules_xml.py on Windows (TODO: replace this workaround))
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2014-March/067876.html (get interface description for python modules on Windows)

the wx dialog for (most but not all **) the grass modules, works fine.

** command like g.region, r.mask and others do not lunch a gui dialog when type their name in the grass shell.

This is actually standard behavior. Probably not documented well. This is how g.region parameters are handled. Use g.region --ui.

i was aware that’s the standard behavior, but i found it a bit incoherent compared with what the other modules do.
Is there any reason for that ?

thanks!

Massimo.

That�s correct, for some reason seems that it doesn�t detect the right architecture :

The configure script doesn't attempt to detect the architecture. The
default is --with-opengl=yes, which is equivalent to --with-opengl=x11.

For MacOSX, you need to use --with-opengl=mac (any of mac, macosx,
osx, aqua and agl will work).

If you think it is wrong or badly documented, you should open separate
thread for it and not confuse it compilation issues. If you decide to do
so, do a mailing list and Trac issues search beforehand.
