[GRASS-dev] CompileOnWindows finished

I just wanted to announce that the CompileOnWindows wiki entry
<http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows&gt; is finished and
now allows anyone to develop grass on windows (vista or xp) through
the mingw/msys system with no dependency compiling and relatively
little extra work (thanks to jef for solving all remaining issues by
adding the mingw-libs package to the wiki).

I believe you're missing the zlib-devel package, it contains zlib.h.
(Re-)install this package, then try again. If it still fails, verify
that zlib.h is in /osgeo4w/include. If it is there but is still
failing let us know.

Dear Colin,

Thank you very much for your great work.
I am trying to follow your steps on a 64bit Vista Machine,
and got the following error.

checking for socket... no
checking for socket in -lsocket... no
configure: warning: *** Unable to locate socket() function.
checking for location of zlib includes...
checking for zlib.h... no
configure: error: *** Unable to locate zlib includes.
Any idea?

Best wishes,
