Yes, I read about it, but I agree that Windows Native Binary compiled using MinGW32 should be the right way. Now I need to let things (I need) work in grass, intented as plugin in qgis. I'm completing qgis building; later I will approach grass building as "standalone" application (so with TclTk and other stuffs not needed for grass-in-qgis use only); I hope to give help in building and source code bug fixing... but I cannot be helpful in application testings, because, actually, I'm not a "full" grass user Regards, Marco PS: I think that including Windows API lots of problems could be fixed, changing functions like alarm(), fork(), wait()... in the source code, with their equivalents avaible in Windows API. Is there possible to make a conditional structure in order to determinate which build platform is in use? in the way to let gcc determinate which header/function it should include/compile? ________________________________ Da: Hamish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: ven 25/01/2008 2.52 A: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Moritz Lennert; [email protected] Oggetto: Re: R: R: [GRASS-dev] GRASS-6.3.0RC4 Windows Native Binary (MSYS) Build Errors marco.pasetti wrote: > I'm an engineering student and I'm making an experimental thesis on > solar radiation and mathematic models simulating transitory > functioning of solar cells (photovoltaic); I approached GIS few weeks > ago only to know how to determinate horizon lines starting from > elevation data and a given GPS point (I need that to carefully > compare my model results with real measured data); so, I discovered a > big and deep world (have you ever heard to pandora's box myth?)...

Of course helping to test the experimental native build is most welcome too.
