* status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Replying to [comment:4 ege]: > The path to gdal's "bin" folder was not in the %PATH%.

Yes. > Actually, we were focusing on GRASS for that training, but you > know, when you start by introducing the concept of open source > and OSGeo software in general, it's nice to show students (who > never approached FOSS4G before) that there is a convenient way > for installing everything easily. it is true that Open Source is best thought of as an ecosystem rather than a series of independent islands. Having the full range of gdal command line tools, to part command line part GUI like GRASS, to full GUI like QGIS lets you use the best tool for the job each time wrt each's strength. Having said that the stand-alone WinGRASS installer is a lot less more familiar/easier for new users (me too). > Maybe next time we will use the stand-alone installer for GRASS-focused > trainings. shrug, when ready grab the latest version of each, try both yourself, see which one is the better fit for you. A goal is to have both working properly. :) There is not much we can do about the PATH issue from here, so opened as OSGeo4W bug: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/562 and closing this ticket. sorry there isn't a "cantfix" option for closing the bug; "wontfix" isn't exactly true but is the closest available.
