$GISBASE/etc/gui to $GISBASE/gui

[babayoshihiko]

GRASS cannot find grass.ico in $GISBASE/etc/gui/icons during startup.

Since 7.0.0beta3, it seems $GISBASE/etc/gui has moved to $GISBASE/gui. However, $GISBASE/gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py, which is created during the build process, still contains lines:

ETCDIR = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "etc")
ETCICONDIR = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "etc", "gui", "icons")
ETCWXDIR = os.path.join(ETCDIR, "gui", "wxpython")
ETCIMGDIR = os.path.join(ETCDIR, "gui", "images")
ETCSYMBOLDIR = os.path.join(ETCDIR, "gui", "images", "symbols")

I've been looking around the source's corresponding file , i.e. gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py:

ETCDIR   = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "etc")
GUIDIR   = os.path.join(os.getenv("GISBASE"), "gui")
WXGUIDIR = os.path.join(GUIDIR, "wxpython")
ICONDIR  = os.path.join(GUIDIR, "icons")
IMGDIR   = os.path.join(GUIDIR, "images")
SYMBDIR  = os.path.join(IMGDIR, "symbols")

but fixing this file doesn't solve the issue.

My OS is MacOSX 10.9 and all the depending libraries are installed by Fink.

It seems that there is something wrong with your installation. Please ask the provider of the package for Mac.

Thank you for your comments. However, unfortunately I am the package maintainer, and

7.0.0beta2 builds fine 7.0.0beta3 builds fine if two files are backported to use $GISBASE/etc/gui I built 7.0.0beta3 in clean environment several times

It's true that Fink installs almost everything in non-standard /sw. But I don't think this is the issue here.

Replying to babayoshihiko:

However, $GISBASE/gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py, which is created during the build process, still contains lines:

It's "created" in the sense that it's copied from gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py to $(ARCH_DISTDIR)/gui/wxpython/core/globalvar.py.

The old version doesn't exist in the source tree and cannot be created as part of the build process. The only ways I can imagine ending up with an old version are

• An unclean source tree (e.g. from using "svn update" on a working copy which contains modifications).

• Being left behind from a previous version, and not replaced during build or installation.

• Being copied from a previous version during build or installation.

You both are right. It was simply my mistake that RUN_GISBASE=/previous/grass/installation was passed to make. Sorry about the fuss.
