[Qgis-user] LAStools on Mac Catalina --- LAS -> LAZ
Hi, I have to shrink 9 larger LiDAR data sets with LAStools to LAZ. Now I am working on a Mac (Intel; Catalina) and do not know how I should get LAStools, the zip-command in particular, running. With web search I only find entries that are 7 or so years old, and I am not sure, whether these tips still works. I use the Terminal on Mac, have Parallels with Windows 10 installed and could try it that way as well. Or is there a solution with QGIS? (I am preparing an upgrade from 3.12 to 3.20) Thanks a lot, Maria ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Hi, Lastools, to my knowledge is pc based. Laszip, according to this page, can be complied for Mac https://laszip.org/. The latest version of QGIS supports Lidar and I know that the OSGEO4W does install the pdal library. PDAL contains many lastools like functions with the added bonus of being OpenSource. I expect that this would also be installed with the Mac QGIS installer. If you install 3.20 on Windows, make sure you make a fresh install using the latest installer. You cannot update a old installation in an existing folder. Sorry for not being too precise, I have not yet played with the new Lidar tools.

Re: [Qgis-user] LAStools on Mac Catalina --- LAS -> LAZ
Hi, this is an answer to myself for anybody interested. Three possible solutions I thought of: (1) QGIS -- LAStools seem to not work any more on Macs above version 3.14. (2) wine -- this would have been an elegant solution in the mac Terminal: 'wine lastoolscommand filename' -- But unfortunately, wine does not work with Mac OS 10.15 and above any more. (3) Virtual Machine or Parallels Desktop with Command Line Interface -- horrible since I absolutely do not know Windows, but the CLI was fine, so I opened the CLI at the folder with the .las files and the LAStools.exe file I needed (laszip.exe in particular; all in the same folder); and that worked really well. I was afraid of the reaction of the Virtual Machine on the large files, but no problem. So (3) was the way to go. I only hope that wine will return to the Mac...

Hi Maria, I think it is worth file a detailed report of this issue in the dedicated repository of the macOS packaging system for QGIS https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Mac-Packager in order to let someone investigate the issue and hopefully fix it.
