#811: MYSYS shortcut starts an infinite number of windows
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: JonBall | Owner: grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: critical | Milestone: 6.4.0
Component: Display | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: MYSYS | Platform: MSWindows Vista
Cpu: x86-64 |
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Platform: Vista
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: as Downloaded
GRASS Version: 6.4.0SVN (r39626) 2009-10-27

Clicking on either of the MYSYS shortcuts created during a winGrass
installation opens an infinite series of empty windows that cascade across
the screen.

When I finally manage to crass out of the infinite loop I sometime manage
to see a Windows error message that says 'rxvt not responding'.

Comment:

I've looked at the msys.bat file but I can't see anything that would cause
a loop. rxvt.exe won't work on an x64 system but it should jump to an exit
on fail...

Can you open a cmd.exe window and tell us what the value of
%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% is?
ie.

{{{
echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%
}}}

for the record:
there are some hints for this issue for Win64 in

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows#InstalltheenvironmentforcompilationMingW

so the actual WinGrass-Installer is built with an updated msys in the
osgeo4w-building environment.

Hi,

I don't think it's related, but just in case- see also the bug report
#1184 about zombie processes cluttering up the ctrl-alt-del task list.

not really, osgeo4w's msys is just replaced by another msys, see
[wiki:CompileOnWindows#InstalltheenvironmentforcompilationMingW compile on
windows]
