I should have looked harder before I hit "Send", I just found Marco's instructions on creating the standalone installer. <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/develbranch_6/mswindows>
If modified to the osgeo4w tree, new native installers should be relatively easy to create. The wingrass team seems to be a little divided right now (native, mingw/msys, osgeo4w, cygwin, not to mention lots of different user & developer wiki pages saying different things), is there a consensus on where to take wingrass? (I should note that I'm relatively new to the scene and therefore may be missing longer-term trends and discussions.) -Colin On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 7:29 PM, Colin Nielsen <[email protected]> wrote: > Michael, > I have just tried r.patch, v.patch and v.what.rast on the new > grass-6.4.svn release in osgeo4w (built on XP I assume), and haven't > had any problems with any of them.
