Re: [GRASS-user] assistance needed in packaging GRASS for Mac

This seems to be a similar case to the current Mac packing approach. And maybe it just does the same thing, but easier? Michael C. Michael Barton Director, Center for Social Dynamics & Complexity Professor of Anthropology, School of Human Evolution & Social Change Head,

Re: [GRASS-user] assistance needed in packaging GRASS for Mac

Hi again, I’ve been a little optimistic/naive. Packaging needs the installation of an extra tool and also changing the default path of all included software (to avoid the package conflicting with a local installation of MacPorts). The first step is simple, but the last one is more intricate.

Re: [GRASS-user] assistance needed in packaging GRASS for Mac

I am happy to test the binaries. But if this works, I should learn how to do it. It is better to have multiple backups of needed skills. I currently package wxPython 2.8.12 in the app because of potential incompatibilities from users. I also have tried to exclusively use Mac system Python

Hello Vincent I'd be glad to test your binaries (at the moment I'm using homebrew to install GRASS). best Carlos On Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 4:18 PM, Vincent Habchi wrote: > Micheal, > > > I can give this a try when I get back to the office. How does it deal > with

Re: [GRASS-user] assistance needed in packaging GRASS for Mac

Thanks Vincent, I can give this a try when I get back to the office. How does it deal with dependencies? Do I need to install all dependencies via MacPorts or can it pull from dependencies outside of Macports? So far, I've been compiling using William Kyngesburye's frameworks, my own

Re: [GRASS-user] assistance needed in packaging GRASS for Mac

Thanks for responding Vincent, I've used Fink and MacPorts previously (first time compiling GRAS for Mac on Fink in 2003). But I try to avoid them now because of past issues related to making GRASS binaries that anyone can install without compiling. Are there are now ways to create such a

[GRASS-user] assistance needed in packaging GRASS for Mac

Members of the GRASS community, I've maintained GRASS for Mac binaries for a number of years with the help of others with more detailed knowledge than I have of the build system and binary packaging on the Mac. In the last few years, that assistance has no longer been available. I've managed
