Our group (redfish.com) does simulation and advanced visualization, and is starting to do quite a bit of GIS work. So we're interested in the tools available for GIS. One difficulty we face is being a cross-platform as well as open software group. Looking at the Thuban information, it looks like it may primarily be focused on Windows. That's fine, but I just want to avoid trying it on Mac OS X if that is not a design goal. Looking at the downloads, there was a binary release for all systems a few years ago, but now just Windows, is that right? .. i.e. all others build from source? Is there a description on how to do such a source build, and how to make sure that build has the libraries it needs? Thanks!

You can build it from source but then it's a bit hard to have all the libraries if you want to distribute it. That's why Thuban now use pyinstaller on Windows to have a fully integrate executable. Today there are binaries for some systems (w32, debian, ubuntu). But not for MacOSX. I had a quick look at the things we can do on MacOSX and found py2app ( http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html ). I have not tested it but i'm willing to do it ;-) Didrik -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thuban's target is to be fully cross-platform, so Mac OS 10 is within the design goals. The underlying www.wxwidgets.org supports MacOSX fine as well - now. > Looking at the downloads, there was a binary release for all systems > a few years ago, but now just Windows, is that right? As Didrik pointed out: No, Thuban was picked up by some distributions so the binaries releases are with them, e.g. Debian. The reason that we do not have a Mac OS installer way back was that wxwidgets' support was only beta and we did not have much user demand. There have been Mac OS X users, check the developmen list archives. Currently we lack a Max OS X helper to build the binaries so we can provide them. > .. i.e. all > others build from source?

The README file in SVN or the tarball release has a maintained list of dependencies, which each have instructions. To have a precise step-by-step document for Mac OS X would be very cool. > Thanks! Looks like a great project. Thanks for considering Thuban! Bernhard -- Managing Director - Owner: www.intevation.net (Free Software Company) Germany Coordinator: fsfeurope.org.
