Hi all
It’s ready last CVS (050219) for GRASS 6 with A NEW MENU IN AQUA NATIVE.
You have to download and install before the grass libraries patch for enabling this features from:
http://wwwamb.bologna.enea.it/forgrass/files/grasslib_patch_aqua_gdal_e00_050202.zip
It includes:
- previous GDAL patch;
- e00 import files;
- NEW AQUA OSX MENU for GRASS 6.
After download last GRASS 6 CVS from my cvs page:
http://wwwamb.bologna.enea.it/forgrass/downloadcvs.htm
Drag grass60cvs app inside /Applications/Grass folder.
Open grass60cvs and now you can select your preferred menu: OSX and/or X11.
Grass use TclTk for GIS Manager and TclTk is available in Mac OS X under 2 release: X11 and Aqua native.
I use all X11 tcltk libs and 1 runtime app with name “Wish Shell” for AQUA version.
All is installed in /usr/local/grasslib folder.
Wish Shell.app (runtime version for TclTkAqua) is installed in /usr/local/grasslib/bin.
Nothing is outside: nothing goes to conflict.

GRASS WITH MENU IN OS X
-
I have created a small starting application in apple-script-studio
-
Inside grass60cvs application in Contents/Resources there are 2 folders:
grass-6.0.cvs
grassx-6.0.cvs
The first one is the complete package with all code and it works in X11.
The second one is for Grass with OS X menu and it has all symbolic links to the first one but 3 files:
only 3 files are modified in grassx-6.0.cvs
- changes only for OSX menu version
changes in etc/Init.sh
row 188-189 (X11 OSX version in grass-6.0.cvs/etc/Init.sh )
- export GRASS_TCLSH=/usr/local/grasslib/bin/tclsh
- export GRASS_WISH=/usr/local/grasslib/bin/wish
row 188-189
- export GRASS_TCLSH=/usr/local/grasslib/bin/Wish\ Shell.app/Contents/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Tcl
- export GRASS_WISH=/usr/local/grasslib/bin/Wish\ Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish\ Shell
- if [ ! “$GRASS_TCLSH” ] ; then
- GRASS_TCLSH=tclsh
- export GRASS_TCLSH
- fi
- if [ ! “$GRASS_WISH” ] ; then
- WISH_OS=
echo 'puts $tcl_platform(platform) ; exit 0' | wish - if [ “$?” = 0 -a “$WISH_OS” = macintosh ] ; then
- #force X11 tcl on Mac:
- GRASS_WISH=/usr/bin/wish
- else
- GRASS_WISH=wish
- fi
- export GRASS_WISH
- fi
row 582
Check for tcltk interface

changes in etc/dm/dm.tcl
Search and Replace all:
Control-Key → Command-Key
changes in etc/dm/menu.tcl
Search and Replace all:
all file 1 → all file 0
all options 1 → all options 0
{} “” 1 → {} “” 0
" 1 [ → " 0 [
Ctrl- → Command-
The changes in d.m.tcl and menu.tcl convert Ctrl-Key with Command-Key, more natural for all Mac apps: you can print with Command-P or save the workspace with Command-S (apple-S).
You can browse inside a Mac standard dialog, you can use Copy-Paste inside the box and much more: it’s completely a new experience.
CONS.
- a bit slower refresh in GIS Manager list in OSX Aqua;
- display raster map with legend is erased at the end (but the future version of GIS Manager changes this feature and it works)
- d.font freeze under OSX Aqua (I think that d.font search X11 fonts from Aqua and it doesn’t find them)
Comments and other changes (font menu, print menu, etc…) are welcome
