[GRASS-dev] [GRASS GIS] #1092: WinGrass + R's installation path in %PATH%

#1092: WinGrass + R's installation path in %PATH%
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hellik | Owner: grass-dev@…
     Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4.0
Component: Packaging | Version: svn-releasebranch64
Keywords: wingrass, R | Platform: MSWindows Vista

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
I have installed the WinGrass64-installer and R 2.11.1 on my
WinVista32-box.

the wingrass-installer delivers a command line.

in the command line during a Grass-session you can change to the
installation folder of R
and then you are able to start R inside a Grass-session.

it would be nice to have the R's installation path in %PATH%, so you can
start R directly
in the WinGrass-delivered command line.

From the R-Windows-FAQ:
(http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Does-R-use-the-
Registry_003f)

"Does R use the Registry?" => this would maybe a starting point

maybe something for 6.4.1?

best regards
Helmut

patches added for Grass64, Grass65, Grass7.

this improves the Grass+R-integration on Windows (in the case R is
installed before a grass-installation).

any comments?

Looks like a harmless improvement to me which will help the GRASS-R users
a lot.

+1 for adding to SVN.

done for trunk (r42740) and grass65 (r42742) in a slightly different way.
