Installing GRASS on MacOS: GDAL lacks JP2 support

Dear all,

one of my colleagues installed GRASS 8.4.2 on his macOS system. An attempt to import data in JP2 format into a GRASS project resulted in an error. Running gdalinfo showed that the GDAL installation does not support JP2.

We tried both installation options, including MacPorts, but with the same result. I am not a macOS user, and the missing JP2 support surprised me. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards,
Martin

We should add the JP2OpenJPEG driver for our bundle, it is indeed missing. It is currently available on MacPorts via GDAL ”variant” port install gdal +openjpeg.
