MAVExplorer on MacOS?

[Andrew Tridgell]

Hi Tim and Tom,

If either if you have time, can you check if this tool works on MacOS?

http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/using-mavexplorer-for-log-analysis/

It's based on the same widget sets you fixed up for MacOS in MAVProxy,
but I imagine it may need some tweaks.

Cheers, Tridge

Hi Tridge

Did try to install on OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite). Apparently some warnings during install but won't run:

Hi Luis,

Thanks for trying it!

> ImportError: No module named lxml

ahh, I need to add lxml as a dependency.

Can you try "sudo pip install lxml" and see if that helps?

Cheers, Tridge

[Luis Vale Gonçalves]

done. some warnings pop up during the install of lxml

running setup.py install for lxml

      warnings.warn(msg)

but ends up with success

But there's an extra issue when running mavexplorer related to wx

I believe the package to install is described here ?? http://wiki.wxpython.org/How%20to%20install%20wxPython

[Luis Vale Gonçalves]

So I went up and installed wx from this package wxPython3.0-osx-3.0.2.0-cocoa-py2.7 and now MavExplorer runs

but almost any operation requested to Mavexplorer causes a crash from Python while trying to use wx
