[GRASSLIST:1096] Mac OS X build

Hello all,

First, I would like to state that I have never used Grass before, however I am going to attempt to compile the Grass 5 beta 8 in the MacOS X environment. MacOS X is based on BSD so I assume that I should be able to build binaries.

Are there any gotchas, tips, needed libraries or suggestions anyone might be able to offer before I embark on this adventure?? Or better yet, has anyone attempted to compile binaries for MacOS X yet???

By the way, I plan on using Grass ( hopefully ) to re-project USGS DRG's from a custom Albers projection to a standard UTM projection and update the .tfw world file with the correct UTM coordinates.

I greatly appreciate any advice!

Thanks,

Hi Jeshua,

GRASS 5 MacOS binaries are "wanted". If you will build them,
we might be able to assist in case of problems.

I suggest me switch to grass5 developers list:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grassdevel.html

or to personal communication for details. I highly recommend
you use the CVS-version for compiling as platform independence
has been improved again:

The reprojection of your data should be possible with
GRASS (r.proj, v.proj, s.proj).

Kind regards
