GRAMPS
[[Category:Developers/Packaging]]
== 2.2.x series (Native PPC only) ==
Gramps GRAMPS on OSX OS X native does just about work. It is not as functional as the X11 version (see ) but it does require fewer dependencies.
=== Caveats ===
=== Patching gramps GRAMPS ===
Once you unpack gramps GRAMPS you need to make one small change. The pygtk build has a broken cairo so you need to turn off the cairo support in the Pedigree view, otherwise bad things happen.
cd src/DataViews
Or, you may download this readymade bundle - [[Media:Gramps.zip|Gramps.app]].
If you have python installed in a different place than /usr/bin, or you have several versions installed in different places (such as /opt/local/bin), then just open the main.scpt file in Script Editor in the Gramps GRAMPS package and edit the script.
* Then, copy the "src" directory from the GRAMPS source code to the Resources directory of Gramps.app.
=== Issues ===
I had to export my database from my existing fink based install into gramps GRAMPS XML format and then import it into the native version. I doubt that the two versions will coexist very nicely. Many things don't work. I know that drag and drop does not work, there are issues with mouse click on menus going missing and anything that calls an external programme program will not work e.g. help etc. [[Category:Developers/Packaging]]
