Hi Moritz,

It worked! Thanks... But why that???? Mah...

A corrupt .grassrc6 file can lead to errors. Don't know what happens on the other OS's in that case...

Then I have other (actually stupid) questions: 1) why the last line of grass63.bat is "%WINGISBASE%\etc\init.bat" %* and not "%WINGISBASE%\etc\init.bat" ? What is the last %* ?

This serves to pass on any command line parameters you call the grass63.bat with.

2) in /src/grass-6.3.0RC5/dist.i686-pc-mingw32 I have more files than in /local/grass-6.3.0RC5 the more I have is: GPL.txt, AUTHORS, COPYING, README, grass63.tmp and REQUIREMENTS.html
should I use this folder to prepare a redistributable package?

I don't think you need the grass63.tmp (don't even know why it's there), and the README and REQUIREMENTS.html are about compiling from source. I think that for a binary package only AUTHORS, COPYING and GPL.txt are necessary.

This said, if we start to officially distribute binary packages with the libraries included, we also have to make the source code of all these libraries (and obvioiusly of GRASS) available...


3) what about wx errors?


Glynn already answered this.

I'm preparing a personal winGRASS + QGIS building guide (probably I will also add it to my thesis, as an additional document... I did it... I add it... just for the work I done...); if you want to give it a look and tell me if you find it interesting, even if it's still a WIP... http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html

I think it is very helpful. Could you please either integrate the information into the Wiki or at least link to the page from the wiki ?

One question: when you rebuild gdal --with-grass, the configure output still says "GRASS support: no". Is this normal ?

And would you be willing to make the entire package of binaries of the build dependencies of GRASS available, in replacement of Paul's quite old package ? I don't think he would mind... Personally, I don't have the time to build this environment (although it should be fairly quick with your instructions).

And do you want to take over the regular building of winGRASS packages ? I have fallen behind the initially desired schedule of recompiling the latest svn-tree once a week... This said, maybe a cron job could do the trick...

Best wishes,

Moritz
