[GRASS-dev] Compiling and Installing GRASS GIS on Windows

GRASS GRASS developer
1

Dear GRASS GIS developers, I am Neev Mistry (Eric1234), a student participating in the 2017 Google Code-In. I have been having some trouble with compiling and installing GRASS GIS on Windows. I have followed the instructions on https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows up until the step where I have to run the package.sh compilation script. I ran all four commands and got no output from any (See Image 1.png). I cannot find an error.log file or mswindows/osgeo4w/package.log. When I go to the folder for OSGEO4W64 and click on Apps, GRASS GIS is not installed there. I have installed GRASS GIS 7.2.2 earlier using the installer, and I do also have the OSGeoLive Virtual Machine, but trying to compile the source code is not working for me. Thank you so much for your help.

Sincerely, Neev Mistry

according to your screenshot, you're on a windows 64bit box and try to
compile GRASS trunk. am I right?

if you want to compile trunk on a windows 64bit box, then you have to use
following command:

PACKAGE_POSTFIX=-daily OSGEO4W_POSTFIX=64 ./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh

just tried here on my win 10 64bit box, configure and compiling works with
the command above.

when compilation starts, error.log lives in:

C:\msys64\usr\src\grass_trunk\error.log

and package.log lives in

C:\msys64\usr\src\grass_trunk\mswindows\osgeo4w\package.log

have a look into this folder:

C:\msys64\usr\src\grass_trunk\mswindows\osgeo4w

is there a file called configure-stamp in this folder? if yes, then just
delete this file and try it again and report back here.

while writing this mail, my test compilation on my windows 10 64bit box
finished:

in package log I can see:
