#2397: $GISBASE/etc/gui to $GISBASE/gui
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: babayoshihiko | Owner: grass-dev@…
     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: 7.0.0
Component: wxGUI | Version: unspecified
Keywords: | Platform: MacOSX
      Cpu: OSX/Intel |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
GRASS cannot find grass.ico in $GISBASE/etc/gui/icons during startup.

Since 7.0.0beta3, it seems $GISBASE/etc/gui has moved to $GISBASE/gui.
However, $GISBASE/gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py, which is created during
the build process, still contains lines:

{{{
ETCDIR = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "etc")
ETCICONDIR = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "etc", "gui", "icons")
ETCWXDIR = os.path.join(ETCDIR, "gui", "wxpython")
ETCIMGDIR = os.path.join(ETCDIR, "gui", "images")
ETCSYMBOLDIR = os.path.join(ETCDIR, "gui", "images", "symbols")
}}}

I've been looking around the source's corresponding file , i.e.
gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py:

{{{
ETCDIR = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "etc")
GUIDIR = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "gui")
WXGUIDIR = os.path.join(GUIDIR, "wxpython")
ICONDIR = os.path.join(GUIDIR, "icons")
IMGDIR = os.path.join(GUIDIR, "images")
SYMBDIR = os.path.join(IMGDIR, "symbols")
}}}

but fixing this file doesn't solve the issue.

My OS is MacOSX 10.9 and all the depending libraries are installed by
Fink.

Comment(by martinl):

It seems that there is something wrong with your installation. Please ask
the provider of the package for Mac.

Comment(by babayoshihiko):

Thank you for your comments. However, unfortunately I am the package
maintainer, and

7.0.0beta2 builds fine
7.0.0beta3 builds fine if two files are backported to use $GISBASE/etc/gui
I built 7.0.0beta3 in clean environment several times

It's true that Fink installs almost everything in non-standard /sw. But I
don't think this is the issue here.

Replying to [ticket:2397 babayoshihiko]:

> However, $GISBASE/gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py, which is created
during the build process, still contains lines:

It's "created" in the sense that it's copied from
gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py to
$(ARCH_DISTDIR)/gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py.

The old version doesn't exist in the source tree and cannot be created as
part of the build process. The only ways I can imagine ending up with an
old version are

  * An unclean source tree (e.g. from using "svn update" on a working copy
which contains modifications).

  * Being left behind from a previous version, and not replaced during
build or installation.

  * Being copied from a previous version during build or installation.

Comment:

You both are right. It was simply my mistake that
RUN_GISBASE=/previous/grass/installation was passed to make. Sorry about
the fuss.
