hi jeshua:
out of curiosity, what are you planning to do with the user interfaces
(tcltk & nviz)? are you going to rewrite them in cocoa? this seems
like the best option to me, as the end user won't have to mickey mouse
with an xwindow emulator.
news for GRASS 5.1 (forthcoming): a python-interface is under development.
i'm not much of a programmer, but i've tried to compile the grass5beta8
sources on mac osx and it fails on the first line of the ./configure:[localhost:/opt/grass] andya% ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type;
you must specify oneso this (i think) means the machine architecture name isn't in the
configure.in file, but i'm not sure where to write it in:
Please try the CVS version. Recently I updated this "host guessing":
grep mac config.guess
# Determine the machine/vendor (is the vendor relevant).
amiga) machine=m68k-unknown ;;
arm32) machine=arm-unknown ;;
atari*) machine=m68k-atari ;;
sun3*) machine=m68k-sun ;;
mac68k) machine=m68k-apple ;;
macppc) machine=powerpc-apple ;;
hp3[0-9][05]) machine=m68k-hp ;;
ibmrt|romp-ibm) machine=romp-ibm ;;
*) machine=${UNAME_MACHINE}-unknown ;;
echo "${machine}-${os}${release}"
# The situation for MiNT is a little confusing. The machine name
mac68k:OpenBSD:*:*)
powerpc:machten:*:*)
echo powerpc-apple-machten${UNAME_RELEASE}
echo mips-dec-mach_bsd4.3
echo i386-pc-mach3
So the CVS version should be able to manage this. Get it at:
http://www.geog.uni-hannover.de/grass/grasscvs.html
Of course the next release of GRASS 5, too (will be GRASS 5 stable).
A note on GRASS 5 stable: We are currently hunting the remaining
release-critical bugs. If you (each reader of this mail) are willing
to help, please contact us. The bugs are listed here:
http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/grass/BUGS
Only after fixing the release-critical bugs we will publish
GRASS 5 stable to provide a *stable* and relyable GIS.
Kind regards
Markus Neteler
PS: If you have problems to compile GRASS, please let us know. Only
then we can help...
