osgeo4w is making its way in various institutions. The tam-tam has begun and I hear people beginning to ask about it. The Windows users are the most between GIS users, so it is an expected clamour. Right yesterday I've been asked if it's possible to manage GRASS/QGIS/GDAL/R/Python bindings building with the same ease as on Linux platforms. I've left the Windows world some years ago, but now I need to start again with it, and I need to answer this question to my boss and collegues. I've read in the recent MLs threads about QGIS and MSVC, GRASS on MSYS, R... I'm not sure but AFAIU MSYS too... My boss has asked me to have a build of GRASS7, with the new Python bindings, and the rest of the stack I said before. Is it possible to organize in the OSGEO wiki some notes on how to start up with the building of it? There are various sparse notes (for GRASS and QGIS), but they mostly refer to the single executables, and not to the Osgeo4w way. I know it's not easy to realize it, first of all because everything is evolving very fast, and things change in a day... But it could help, at least to have a first reference (notes and people working on that specific topic). OsGeo4w wiki could be the right place. Anyway, next days I will start the long way to GRASS7+QGIS building! :)
