a few days ago I've tried to compile cairo in the osgeow4-tree on my WinVista32-box.

dependencies for cairo are pk-config and Glib (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLib), but I had no luck
at the moment to build pk-config and Glib at the moment.

Maybe just wishful thinking, but I believe Martin was not only referring to the
Cairo part... :wink:

Jürgen,

could you briefly illustrate the tasks to do? Then it may be easier to find a
volunteer.

thanks

Why not using glib binary from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/glib/2.24/
and cairo binary plus its dependencies from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/
?

Works for me for grass7

[1] has some general instructions,
[2] contains the current packages as produced by
[3], that is, the original version of it, where the tar commands were not
disabled (and I might have made minor other changes in the meantime),

So what it boils down to is running package.sh, uploading the resulting tars
and invoking the setup.ini update procedure.

BTW the GRASS plugins for GDAL are not needed anymore by QGIS. But QGIS uses
the GRASS libraries, so uploads of new GRASS packages from SVN versions should
be coordinated.

Nightly builds (if any) should be in different packages or better just one.
Eg. grass-dev with everything installed to apps/grass-dev including a batch
file template grass-dev.bat.tmpl and
ms-windows/osgeo4w/{postinstall,preremove}.bat adapted accordingly and a
adapted setup.hint to upload.

BTW and there is [4] that produces the QGIS NSIS installer from OSGeo4W
packages (not needed for OSGeo4W itself), but which could also be adapted to
produce a grass only installer.

Briefly enough?
