I've just finished adding instructions to the Wiki page for compiling
grass-6.5.svn (develbranch_6) and grass-7.0.svn (trunk). Please test.
Colin, addictionally I suggest you include the format of path as unix
on some steps, because it facilitate the copy and past (just to save
time of those the decide to handle the things on MSYS).
-------
3. Copy c:\osgeo4w\apps\msys\etc\fstab.sample to
c:\osgeo4w\apps\msys\etc\fstab (without .sample)
or
cp /c/OSGeo4W\apps\msys\etc\fstab.sample /c/OSGeo4W\apps\msys\etc\fstab
-----
4. Open c:\osgeo4w\apps\msys\etc\fstab
or /c/OSGeo4W/apps/msys/etc/fstab
--------3. Open c:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass64\mswindows\osgeo4w\package.sh and at line
12: Change:or /c/OSGeo4W/usr\src/\grass64/mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh
I agree we could probably change step 3 to your suggestion, but I left
those lines in windows format because:
1) Windows users are more familiar with using windows explorer for
file management, and
2) For the other lines just typing /c/osgeo4w/apps/msys/etc/fstab will
not open the file for editing. This still has to be done externally in
notepad, notepad++ or some other text editor (I'm not touching
instructions for vim!).
By the way, I remember that almost on my case I needed to incluide
to extra steps before start GRASSGRASS_WISH=/c/OSGeo4W/bin/wish.exe
export GRASS_WISH
cd /c/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/bin
grass6
Is this a problem specific to xp/vista 64-bit? Can you give us more
details on the error messages you receive? I believe the setting of
GRASS_WISH should be handled by etc/Init.sh. So if this isn't working
on x64 this should be fixed.
Finally, now I get grass65 and not grass64, so I suggest update this.
Done.

So, Colin and colleagues, THANKS a lot!!!

Hi Colin,
Sorry, I really forgot the zlib-devel. My mistake.
But now I compiled and I have other issue.
When I start MSys, and define GRASS_WISH,
and execute GRASS I get the box to select
my MAPSET. After that I get the following error message:
This application has failed to start
because libintl3.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Any idea? I need do compile GRASS again (how can I recompile?).Best wishes

2009/3/28 Colin Nielsen <colin.nielsen@gmail.com>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.-Colin
