[GRASS-user] Grass 6.4.2 on mac with lion

Hi,

I've been trying to wrap up things here at ASU in preparation to going on sabbatical. But I just compiled and posted GRASS 7 and 6.4.3 two days ago. Helena reported a mapcalc problem with 6.4.3 and there is a problem with the new interactive image classification module in the version I compiled. Anna has tried to fix this and I hope to test the fix today.

My binaries run on OSX 10.6 (snow leopard) and 10.7 (lion). There is an accompanying readme text file that lists which of William's frameworks I've used for compiling.

You can find them at http://www.public.asu.edu/~cmbarton/files/grass_mac/OSX10.6-snowleopard/

Enjoy!
Michael

Hmm, I'm guessing you have my GRASS 6.4.1, and since I've been too busy to package the 6.4.2 RCs you're trying it yourself. Michael Barton has been doing a better job of keeping up with OS X packages and I'd recommend getting his, though he's also been quiet lately, maybe busy or on vacation.

Anyways, there are different graphic interfaces that can be used for different parts of GRASS. X11 for a Linux-type interface and Aqua for OS X.

On OS X, X11 is only needed for display monitors - this is the --with-x option that is failing, which is why I assumed X11 was missing. Try adding these flags:

--x-includes=/usr/X11/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib

OpenGL is used by NVIZ. NVIZ uses the TclTk, which works best in the Aqua framework form (and the default in the system). So configure:

--with-opengl=aqua

One more thing - GRASS configure needs a lot of help to get the rest of my frameworks and system stuff. It doesn't know to use UnixImageIO for PNG or TIFF, or how to find the GDAL, PROJ, GEOS, cairo or freetype frameworks or some other things in system frameworks, you need to spell it all out. And you probably want to make an OS X application. See the Mac readme in the source/macosx folder for more info.

Michael,

should we add this link to the download section on the GRASS GIS Web site?

Markus

Sure. It's not nearly as nice a site as William has, but I try to compile current svn versions regularly.

Looks good.
