[GRASS-dev] RE : repeated problem for installing GRASS for windows

[Robert Lagacé]

I found the following Web page that may help :

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr71-dll-not-found-missing-error.htm

By the way, I found the name of the installation script (the template) for 
Windows. It is 
doable to test if the msvcr71.dll has a key in the Registry (normally if 
installed). I cannot 
test it because I do not have acces to Windows at the moment.

Re: [GRASS-dev] more interesting failure for reading fp_range of a NULL map

1. In general, there's nothing erroneous about an all-null input map. 
Most modules should treat such a map the same as any other map.

2. Whether or not a map contains any non-null cells is usually
irrelevant. What matters is whether there are any non-null cells
within the current region (and after any mask has been applied). And
this can't be determined without actually reading the map.

So given that the map has to be read anyhow, the module should simply
operate normally, keeping track of whether any non-null values have
been read so that any final calculation doesn't make assumptions about
e.g. the count of non-null cells being non-zero, having a valid
minimum and maximum, etc.

If, for a specific module, all-null inputs are common, it might be
worth checking whether the range has null minimum and/or maximum
(they'll be either both null or both non-null) as an optimisation. But
I would expect this to be the exception rather than the rule.

Thanks Helmut.

Sadly, it turns out that the solutions on the link now on the download page 
will help many but not all people who get this error. My student tried all 
suggestions so far to no avail.

I suggested (hopefully correctly) to do a search on the dll and see if there 
are multiple copies, including out of date ones. But I'm not sure what else to 
have her try.

If you can give me the name of the installation script (or the script
itself),
I will try to find a way.

Robert,

I'm afraid I don't know much about Windows compiling or installing (I'm
more of a Mac person with >Linux second). Perhaps others on the dev list
could help you with this. I'm copying the list.

the installer script for the standalone-wingrass-nsis-installer:

Hi,

similar to the "topics" index:
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/topics.html

I would like to see a "Keywords" index in GRASS 7 which lists *all*
keywords alphabetically along with the related modules, like (with
clickable links of course):

http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/manuals/keywords.html
aggregation: r.reclass.area, v.neighbors
allocation: v.net.alloc
area: r.surf.area, v.centroids, v.dissolve
...
random: r.random, v.random, v.sample
...

Perhaps this could be "easily" derived from the man/build_topics.py script?
