Qgis
Mac OS X installers for QGIS.
- Qgis 1.5.0-2 for Snow Leopard [70.1 MiB].
- Qgis 1.5.0-2 for Leopard [68.4 MiB].
- Qgis 1.5.0-3 (standalone) for Snow Leopard [95.0 MiB].
- Qgis 1.5.0-3 (standalone) for Leopard [94.8 MiB].
Qgis requires the GDAL Complete 1.7 and GSL frameworks. These are included in the standalone packages. Python support uses the system Python (v2.5 on Leopard, v2.6 on Snow).
The instructions in the standalone to configure the GdalTools plugin don't work (I came up with the trick way back in Tiger days). Until the next release when I'll fix the readme, do this instead:
First, in the Finder, open the Applications folder (or wherever you installed Qgis). Right-click Qgis.app and select Show Package Contents. Open a Terminal and type:
ln -s
followed by a space, but not return yet. Drag the Contents folder to the Terminal window. Then type:
~/Desktop/
and a return.
Close the Terminal window and the Qgis.app window.
Now, in Qgis, select GdalTools Settings from the Raster menu. Browse to select the GDAL path, and use the alias you created on your desktop to get inside the Qgis app. Go into MacOS and select bin for the path.
GRASS support requires a full GRASS 6.4RC6 application (and any extra frameworks it needs). The standalone Qgis does not include GRASS support at all, you must use the standard Qgis package + frameworks + GRASS if you need GRASS features.
See the Qgis website for more information about Qgis.
A universal gpsbabel is included for use with the GPS Import plugin. Qgis should automatically find it.
Dev Builds
- Qgis r14124 for Snow Leopard (64bit Qt 4.6 Cocoa) [70.7 MiB]. {GDAL 1.7 Complete, GSL}
- Qgis r14124 for Leopard (32bit Qt 4.6 Cocoa) [71.4 MiB]. {GDAL 1.7 Complete, GSL}
Dev builds of Qgis require the GDAL Complete 1.7 and GSL frameworks, and GRASS 6.4RC6. Framework-based only. Builds will occur sporadically, as I have time and feel like it 
This is a build of the bleeding edge of Qgis, use at your own risk. It contains bug fixes and new features, but may (probably) have new bugs. New project file features may be incompatible with previous versions of Qgis.
Testing is encouraged. Report bugs to trac.osgeo.org/qgis/wiki or check the mailing lists.
