Hi,
I'm preparing a winGRASS self installer package, but I'm not sure
about what
files include in the package from PostgreSQL and SQLite install;
Since now I included only libpq.dll (for PostgreSQL) and
libsqlite3-0.dll
(for SQLite); unfortunately I'm not able to use database
instructions in
GRASS, so I cannot know if some files are required or not! While
SQLite is a
very light utility (for all files), PostgreSQL requires lot of
space (quite
30 MB!!!) for a complete inclusion in a GRASS self contained package.
Can someone help me, please?
Marco
Marco,
First of all, I want to express my thanks on behalf of students here
who are using GRASS on Windows. It is wonderful that you are doing
this. (aside: Thanks also to Moritz and Glynn for showing us the way
to achieve a WinGRASS package and for helping on this one).
My suggestion is that you include SQLite but not PostgreSQL. This way
users have access to a pretty full-featured SQL dbms if they want it,
a simpler dbf table format if that is all they need, and don't have
the overhead of PostgreSQL.
Michael
