New build of GRASS 8.5 for Mac

GRASS GRASS developer
5

Would it be reasonable to request another build of GRASS 8.5 Mac again soon?

I tried compiling it, but got an error about not being able to locate OpenGL. Any advice?
I’m on an Apple M1 Pro with MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1 with XCode Command Line Tools installed.

configure: error: *** Unable to locate OpenGL library.
include/Make/Vars.make:1: include/Make/Platform.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `include/Make/Platform.make’. Stop.

Thanks, Brendan

Thanks Michael. Thanks Nicklas.
I’ll also try building it. That will be helpful in the future.
Best, Brendan

Brendan, as soon as Michael can upload the newly built apps, they will be available at the usual place.

(Now it is fairly easy to build the 8.5.0dev (from main) for yourself, given you have Xcode and/or CommandLineTools installed, just run ./macos/build_grass_app.bash from the repo.)

Hi Brendan,

Due to complications Apple imposes for signing software, Nicklas Larsson has been building binaries for me to post. I’m copying him here @nila to see about getting a new build.
