Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Windows: New snapshot (grass shell)

2006-12-06 Thread tschaun


(1) I cannot open the Grass shell at all, regardless of whether or not there
are blanks in the path. The shell command in the toolbox is dead, it does
nothing. The non-Windows (preview 2) build does open it correctly on the
same machine.

(2) I am unable to import PostGIS layers. v.in.ogr fails with messages such
as the following:

Cannot open data source: PG:host=localhost dbname=lambayeque port=5432
user=Fempellec password=x 
Finished with error

This happens both in all builds, not just the Windows build, and also from
the command line.

(3) Some Grass commands that run from the non-Windows (preview 2) build fail
with error messages such as 

Cannot start module v.kernel.exe --interface-description

I think I ran them all and found v.kernel, v.surf.rst, and r.in.gdal to
misbehave in this way.

I hope this is of help. I noticed the quoted PostGIS schemas. Very nice,
thanks for all your work.

Cheers, Hartmut

 Hi QGIS / Grass gurus
 
 I've made a fix for the 'spaces in paths' issue with launching the
 grass shell. A new snapshot build is available at:
 
 http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/testbuilds/qgis_setup.exe
 
 The new snapshot is also built with qt 4.2.2 (probably only of
 interest to version geeks :-)
 
 Could the grass gurus please test and see if the shell behaves
 properly (runs grass commands ok etc)
 
 Thanks

No error message from the Grass command line. Absolutely nothing happens
when I try to invoke it.

 Thats strange - someone else tested and it opened fine for them. Did
 you get an error message?

 Ok the postgis support I was referring to was via the 'add database
 layer' using the qgis postgresql provider. For grass based v.in.ogr I
 have not tested at all. I will try to see why this is not working but
 on a lower priority - I will come back to it after sorting out some of
 the other issues.

 Ok I will check up on these. My next task is to try to build grass
 natively under msys - currently the grass in the test win distribution
 is still the one build under the xcompiler. Hopefully these issues
 will be resolved in the process.
 
 I hope this is of help.
 
 Yes it helps a lot thank you.
 
I noticed the quoted PostGIS schemas.
 
 Thats probably Gavins work.
