[GRASS-dev] CompileOnWindows finished

GRASS GRASS developer

hi Colin,

it's a good work! Compiling on Win Vista Business is working.

Some ideas:

- Is this procedere also working for GRASS7? if yes, could a hint be added to the wiki?

- Would it be possible to add GRASS-cairo-functionality for WinGRASS?
Maybe under http://www.jkrieger.de/programming/cpp/gnulibs.html or http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/ some mingw-
packages of cairo?

- Would it be possible to add some hints in the wiki about what to do if compiling a new version of the source-code?

best regards
Helmut

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).

-Colin

I've added a couple of packages to the TODO section of the wiki page,
that may work. I haven't tried them personally, so report back if you
find success. I've also opened an enhancement ticket on osgeo4w's
tracker to request cairo and cairo-dev be added to their tree.

Done and done :slight_smile:
