Hi all,

Thanks for all the suggestions: I modified the document, and finally it
sounds good for me:

http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/temp/README.html

So, let's start the poll! :wink:

Just one last remark: IIRC, for PostgreSQL you only provide the libpg.dll,
not the entire postgresql installation. This should be mentioned. And what
about sqlite ? Did you include the sqlite.exe ?

Hi Moritz,

Just one last remark: IIRC, for PostgreSQL you only provide the libpg.dll,

not the entire postgresql installation.

This should be mentioned. And what about sqlite ? Did you include the

sqlite.exe ?

For PostgreSQL I provide only libpq.dll, while for SQLite I provide *all the
build*, that is also sqlite.exe.
On the same way, should I notice also further info for Tcl/Tk (as for
SQLite, I provide *all the build* of it)?

But this would open a *pandora's box*, because on this way I should specify
also what files I exactly provide from other stuffs (such as tiff, gdal,
proj....)

Opened to all suggestions :wink:

I could solve as adding the following note after "*with GEOS, Expat,
PostgreSQL and SQLite support enabled":

The current WinGRASS package contains a complete build of all the items
listed above, except for PostgreSQL, for which it contains only the
libpq.dll dynamic library.

What do you think about?

personally, I think the information about the GDAL, proj, etc are minor
compared to the info about postgresql.
Maybe you could just add a ** with a note "packages containing libraries
and binaries, all others only contain library files", or something
similar.

Please, check if it works for you now. It's late here, and my brain
continues to fail connections (brain ping errors!), so you'll probably need
to fix my english errors :wink:

Goodnight

those [ie tiffinfo, gdalinfo, gdalwarp, gdal_translate, and cs2cs] would
all be very useful things to provide.

Hamish,

and, in fact, they are already provided ;-), since RC5

Hi all,

since new python GUI seems to basically work, do you think that it would better to add to README file infos about it? such as:

New table of contents item:

New Python GUI

We highly recommend you to also test the new GRASS Python GUI. To do that you’ll need to install additional applications:

[…]Python, Python extensions for windows, wxpython and NumPy, as done in the Building Guide[…]

To start GRASS with the new Python GUI, open MSYS shell, type grass63 -wxpython and then enter

What do you think about? (it’s the last issue, I think, about README file; after that I will compile the installer)

Marco
