Re: [GRASS-dev] Grass on MacOS (Ken Mankoff)

[Michael Barton]

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.

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

Re: [GRASS-dev] Grass on MacOS (Ken Mankoff)

[Michael Barton]

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

Hi Michael

That's great!

I included those two extra shell scripts as they were used with a previous 
version of grass. They are called in the Grass.sh script. I don't really know 
what they do, maybe they are no longer necessary.

To be honest, I'm not sure how I got the size down so much. After installing 
grass into the app, I ran "conda clean --all" and manually removed everything 
under the Contents/Resources/pkgs folder - but that's what I had always been 
doing (I think, anyway).

I've added the updated scripts to the GitHub repo. I think that now has 
everything I was working with created the app that's now working for you.

Eric,

I wrote you on this but apparently it never was sent.

I tested your new app and it works like a charm. Opens with a double click and 
no problems. There are a couple extra shell scripts in ../Contents/MacOS/ that 
don't seem to be called by anything. Or am I just not seeing it? I will try 
inserting the new start up scripts into my own build tomorrow and see if it 
works the same.

How did you get the size down so much? I got it close last week by removing the 
pkg folder, env folder, doc folder, and then some selective items in bin. But 
I'm hoping your have a more systematic list of what can be removed.

This looks like exactly what is needed. Hopefully I can package it as you did 
and get it posted to test by the end of the week.

Thanks again
Michael

Hi Michael

Thanks for your earlier clarification about how grass runs (I was missing a key 
point!). I think I have a solution now. Basically, the 
Grass72.app/Contents/MacOS/Grass script now opens up a terminal and, within 
that terminal, executes the startup script (the one we were using before, which 
is now Grass.sh).

You can see what I mean here:


https://github.com/mcflugen/grass-conda-build/tree/master/osx/Grass72.app/Contents/MacOS

I'll start to make a new app but the one I have seems to be working now (I've 
been using the NC data you sent me).

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. The goal is to eliminate the SIP 
problem and the potential for conflicts with different versions of 
dependencies/frameworks/python/wxpython.

With a lot of help from colleague Eric Hutton (Community Surface Dynamics 
Modeling System), we are very close to having a reproducible and distributable 
build of GRASS under Anaconda. Our goal is to compile GRASS in an Anaconda 
environment so that it is distributable in two related ways: a
