[GRASSLIST:1102] Re: Mac OS X build

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.

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 one

Andy,

Try: ./configure -host powerpc-apple-bsd

Provided that you have cc/gcc installed, it should start compiling!!

Good luck,
