Dear list,
On my MS Window XP machine, I have:
- Cygwin GRASS 6.1.cvs (last Huidae Cho's version);
- Cygwin GRASS 6.2.2-1 (18-Jul-2007);
- Native winGRASS 6.3.cvs (wingrass63_cvs20070801, 01-Aug-2007).
Some observations:
The three do not interfere with each other, except for the native
winGRASS 6.3.cvs that needs to reset GISDBASE: in ~/.grassrc6 to an
absolute path at startup (c:\cygwin\home\$USER\ as opposed to
\home\$USER\ which is enough for Cygwin): next time you use a Cygwin
version, it complains that it does not find the database folder (and
vice versa when you use start the native version after a Cygwin/GRASS
session). I understand one is very likely to survive this inconvenience,
but is there a way around it?
Use different values of $HOME for Cygwin and Windows.
My Windows $HOME has been set to "C:\cygwin\home\user" via the Windows
control panel. I would not know how to set $HOME to a different value
for Cygwin ("/home/user/"? This is the value I enter manually when I
start Cygwin/GRASS after a native winGRASS session -- because it cannot
find "C:\cygwin\home\user" ). I tried setting &HOME in Cygwin via
.bashrc but it did not work. The fact is that when GRASS starts up, it
seems to look into GISDBASE value written in ~/.grassrc6 during the last
session.
Thanks and regards,
Luigi
