Betreff: Re: [GRASS-windows] New Wingrass64-Selfinstaller (svn-rev39740)

Hi Helmut,
I've just tried the new installer but I'm sorry to tell you that there
are a couple of major folders missing from it causing GRASS to be
non-functional. Namely GRASS's bin and lib folders.

there was a typo related to the path to the GRASS bin and lib folders in in my GRASS-Packager.bat-script.

Also there is anempty directory called "README-Dateien" created which shouldn't be
there. Please check out the installer scripts and let me know what has
gone wrong so that we can fix them.

if I save the README.html-file from http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-web/trunk/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/README.html?format=raw by firefox, the "README-Dateien"-folder is also saved. I will remove this folder the next-time I am packaging.

Finally, since this is not a release candidate version I've been
creating it in the "DEV6_SVN_REVISION" slot of the installer. If you
could do it there instead of the RELEASE slot then it will detect the
older installation and update it accordingly.

because the installer is build on the GRASS64-releasebranch-svn-code (living in C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.4.0svn) and not on the GRASS65-develbranch-svn-code. but if you can submit your GRASS-Packager.bat- and GRASS-Installer.nsi-script, so we could synchronise the installer.

<

Markus, we should probably put the old installer back until this can
be re-packaged with the missing folders added.

I've build a new installer, also now with the GRASS bin and lib folders. The installer has now about ~ 100MB. I've seen, your earlier self-installers had about ~80MB. the difference in size maybe related to different stuff installed in the osgeo4w-stack?

best regards
Helmut

Cheers,
-Colin

All you have to do is change line 18 to Dev6, and lines 30-33 with the
6.4 values (6.4.0svn;grass64)

I'm sure you're right, I think I saw Qt4 and other QGIS things which
GRASS doesn't need if I remember correctly. These all end up in the
extrabin and extralib directories. I didn't want to write each
individual file in the Packager script by hand, but maybe we'll have
to in order to avoid "bloat".
