Hi Michael, Although my name is in the subject, I didn't get this email until just now - Apparently I have a filter that is too aggressive - I follow the grass-users list but not the grass-dev list, and even though I was on the "To:" field I didn't get it.
Anyway, using Anaconda is a neat idea. I'm happy with MacPorts for now, but will test this, and be very interested if it offers more bleeding-edge versions than MacPorts (still at 7.2.2), or improves on some existing bugs (g.extension, t.*, etc.). I note that Linux users also use Anaconda so your user base may grow larger than the MacPorts base. Thank you! -k On 2018-01-14 at 20:31, Michael Barton <[email protected]> wrote: > Ken & Co. > > You might find this of interest. > > I've been working off and on for the past several month to find a new > way to compile and distribute GRASS for Mac with all dependencies > created outside the Mac system folders and bundled with it.
