Problem solved and new versions of GRASS 7.2.2 and GRASS 7.4 svn have been 
posted to GRASSMac.

I found that the issue with extensions compiling was because I'd deleted clang 
and related files in an effort to reduce the size of the app. This is not 
needed to run GRASS, but is needed to compile extensions. I put it back in. 
Makes the app larger by about 600Mb but seems necessary.

Although it compiled, it seems that the startup script is missing. I need to 
look at this tomorrow and see what is happening. I have removed it from the 
GRASSMac web site.

I was able to compile GRASS 7.4.0 RC2 and have just posted it to the GRASS Mac 
web site.

This is a clickable Mac *.app bundled with dependencies and Python. So it 
*should* work without conflicts. But it is not a full fledged version of Python 
that you can customize with new packages. For that, we will need to create 
versions that are Anaconda packages that can be installed with 'conda install 
grass'

I've just posted a new GRASS 7.2.2 dmg to the GRASS for Mac web site 
(http://grassmac.wikidot.com<http://grassmac.wikidot.com/>). This one is 
compiled with gettext for internationalization. Please test.

I have not been able to get 7.4 to compile yet.

Hi Helena,

I am very glad that it works for you so easily. A HUGE thanks is owed to Eric 
Hutton of the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS), an NSF 
facility and scientific network for modeling in the earth sciences. It was 
Eric's idea to try this through Anaconda. He provided guidance and I worked 
though a lot of testing it as an Anaconda build last summer, but was unable to 
get it to a point where GRASS could reliably be compiled and then distributed. 
Over the last couple months, Eric has worked out how to solve those problems, 
including making a launchable app and packaging it all in a dmg. There is a bit 
of fine tuning left to do in the workflow, but it is essentially distributable 
now--making it the first time I've been able to create a stable and easily 
installable binary in a year and a half.

Parallel to this, Eric proposes (and has worked out the protocol) of also 
making GRASS available as an Anaconda package. He has created an Anaconda 
'recipe' to do this. After getting the app/dmg distributed, I will follow his 
lead to test how this works as an alternative for those who use Anaconda for 
Python.

This new build has a couple of characteristics quite different from previous 
Mac versions. Most importantly, all needed dependencies are bundled inside the 
app. This makes for a bigger app, but hopefully eliminates any conflicts among 
dependency versions. No more separately installed "frameworks". No more 
conflicts if you (or a program) install another version of Python or wxPython 
somewhere. And hopefully, no more issues with Apple's 'system integrity 
protection' (SIP).

This test version does not include gettext for internationalization or libLAS. 
I wanted to test it as we've been developing the workflow, without adding 
anything else until I can confirm that it works. However, I think it will be 
easy to include gettext because there already is an Anaconda version available. 
LiDAR support may be trickier. I have previously compiled libLAS. I think it 
may be possible to work out how to link and bundle it in this Anaconda version. 
That said, there seems to be work in the dev team for substituting PDAL as a 
LiDAR support library, and Anaconda already supports PDAL. So if we can 
substitute PDAL functionality for libLAS functionality, we can do it all within 
an Anaconda environment.

This is also a full 64 bit version of GRASS. No more need to compile it dual 
architecture 32/64 bit. This solves a number of compiling and running issues, 
and means that the GUI now must run in wxPython 3 and above (still Python 2.7). 
There are several GUI bugs that show up in switching from wxPython 2.8 to 3+. 
I've created tickets on the 3 I know of. The most annoying 2 of these should be 
pretty easy to solve for the people who are actively managing the GUI (the menu 
button bar does not properly revert back to 2D buttons after displaying 3D, and 
a custom pull-down list control does not recognize mouse clicks). I don't know 
if the 3rd one is easy or difficult to solve (the interactive supervised 
classification module crashes GRASS).

Please feel free to distribute and get back in touch with me and Eric if you 
run into any issues.

Cheers
Michael

Michael,

thank you for the dmg file - great news - I was able to get GRASS running on my 
new laptop in less than 10 minutes including download. On first double click it 
refused to open that it is not verfied but it allowed me to open it by clicking 
on it and selecting Open in the menu ( I remebered that trick from the past).

I noticed that it does not have r.in.lidar (I am aware of the issue) but nviz 
and map swipe runs, g.gui.animation  has a problem. Anyway it is fantastic to 
have GRASS Mac binary back - thank you all for the effort,

Helena

Hi Eric,

I just started from scratch and compiled GRASS under Anaconda, created an app, 
and created a dmg. It runs with a double click. This is great!! Tonight, I will 
test on my laptop at home with SIP turned on. Fingers crossed.

Cheers
Michael
