> Is saga a requirement for sextante or optional? SAGA is optional, but adding it makes a huge difference, so somehow, you can say it is not so optional if you want to do serious work with SEXTANTE.

It only calls SAGA on the command line. GUI tools are not used at all, and there would be no need to include them. > The Problem: Saga needs wxWidgets. QGIS runs 64bit on OS X.

The GUI tools are not needed, so, if the command line tool does not use wxWidgets, that wouldn't be a problem. But I think it might use some non-GUI classes from wxWidgets, we should check it Cheers Victor _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
