Hi,
with the latest WinGrass nightly build installer (r40766), installed in
C:\Program Files\, nviz (tcl) fails to start.
even from the MSys command prompt there error is:
{{{
GRASS 6.4> nviz --help
Sorry <Files/GRASS-64-SNV/etc/nviz2.2/script/nviz2.2_script> is not a
valid option
Description
nviz - Visualization and animation tool for GRASS data.
Keywords:
...
Usage:
...
}}}
If I reset $GISBASE beforehand to get rid of the space, it works:
{{{
GRASS 6.4> export GISBASE=/C/PROGRA~1/GRASS-64-SVN
}}}
I assume we could hardcode that conversion as part of the GRASS-
Installer.nsi (as follows), but it would be good to fix it properly.
{{{
;Get the short form of the install path (to allow for paths with spaces)
VAR /GLOBAL INST_DIR_SHORT
GetFullPathName /SHORT $INST_DIR_SHORT $INSTALL_DIR
}}}
also just to note that the nightly build process still is shipping
msys/grass70.* files and does not use a copy of msys.bat with all paths
"quoted" which causes (non-fatal) errors in the startup.
