[GRASS-dev] WinGRASS-6.3.0RC6: First Impressions

Marco_Pasetti · March 26, 2008, 8:32pm

Hi,

I just built RC6; first impressions:

1) make procedure fails creating symbolic links d.paint.labels, r.cats and
p.out.vrml; as temporary solution I fixed the problem manually creating
symbolic links after make procedure; it seems that MinGW needs the full path
for both target and link name...

2) About GRASS (from Help menu) works now

3) I opened some exixsting projects, applied some commands and used NVIZ;
all seems to works fine; good job folks!
More testing is needed, but at the moment I don't have enough time
I'm planning self installer release for tomorrow (with new zipped MSYS
environment, readme files and guide updates)

4) I started the new python GUI: the first screen is OK (very beautiful...
but the fonts seem to be a little bit too small for me... probably I need
new glasses :-D), but loading a mapset it returns an error and exits; the
first time it reported and error with a *classic* windows message box, then,
when I restarted it, it displayed the following *only MSYS* message:

Marco@NOTEBOOKMARCO /usr/local/bin

That's all at the moment.

Marco, I couldn't figure out how to start RC5 from the msys window. Could
you add a couple of sentences in the readme describing the process? Thanks,
Jerry

it is strange, for me it works (I guess we have the same version of
Python and wxPython -- since I have followed your guide). Tested on
Win XP.

the "bad marshal data" error message may be result of having one
python version compile code into .pyc or .pyo files, and having a
different version run those files...

I downloaded and tried to install WinGRASS-6.3.0RC6 on Windows XP.

The main installation proceeds fine, but fails when it is time to install
the sample dataset.

I think this is because the installer is attempting to link to the internet
to fetch the sample dataset, but cannot get through my office's proxy
server.

Is it possible to either;

1) include the sample dataset in the original downloaded installable? or
2) download the dataset seperately?

Hi Nicholas,

I downloaded and tried to install WinGRASS-6.3.0RC6 on Windows XP.

I hope you were meaning RC5, I still did not uploaded RC6 installer…

Is it possible to either;

include the sample dataset in the original downloaded installable? or

download the dataset seperately?

The best way would be to fix the installer procedure itself. It’s a good thing that you reported the bug right now, because I’m preparing RC6 release…
