Port: qgis3

Description

After doing

sudo port install qgis3 +grass

I end up with QGIS but without GRASS. It should appear at the bottom of the Processing Toolbox, right after GDAL, as in the official release (where GRASS is present by default).

You probably need to activate "GRASS GIS provider" plugin in Plugin manager.

The plugin is activated in the plugin manager. But none of the GRASS tools are present in the Processing Toolbox.

EDIT: it seems the issue depends on which computer I have installed qgis3. On a MacStudio, GRASS is present in the toolbox.

After removing Macports and reinstalling it

sudo port install qgis3 +grass

results in

Error: qgis3: Error executing grass: couldn't execute "/opt/local/bin/grass": no such file or directory
Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants

Oh my! Now I know what is wrong and I'll look for a solution.

For the time being, it should work fine if you manually install grass before attempting to install QGIS.

After installing grass, I still get that the GRASS toolbox does not show up if $HOME has permissions 555. Actually launching grass directly from the command line does not work in that case. I'll notify the grass port.
