Hi,
Back again with this issue. Thanks Helmut and Antonio for your help but so far I haven’t manage to compile GRASS using OSGEO4W. (and it seems that neither Antonio)Since Glynn told me that I might have some issues with newer versions I decided to use older versions of prebuilt and MinGW packages.
1- From oSGEO4W I installed the packages listed in step5 and 6
2- Runned msys and created osgeo4W folder and the fstab
3- Edited fstab
4- DOwnloaded the following packages (Since Antonio tried with newer and it didn’t work I decided to get the ones that are linked with Wiki):
5- Then I unpacked them to c:\osgeo4w
6- Downloaed Make from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/make-3.81-MSYS-1.0.11-2.tar.bz2
7- Unpacked it to c:\osgeo4w\apps\msys
8- Downloaded the following pre-built binaries:
9- Unpack it yo c:\osgeo4 I overwritted all files even if some file was newer… Is this ok? (iconv.h and m4.exe)
10- Reboot the PC
11- Extracted latest GRASS snapshot into C:\osgeo4w\usr\src
12- Using Msys I entered in GRASS source
13- run ./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh &>log.log (I suppose I don’t need to change anything right? not even in Platform.make or grass.mkae)
13.1- First attempt: It stopped at
checking for location of OpenGL includes…
checking for GL/gl.h… yes
checking for GL/glu.h… yes
checking for location of OpenGL library…
checking for OpenGL library… ./configure: line 11435: 3840 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ( eval $ac_link ) 2>&5
configure: error: *** Unable to locate OpenGL library.
13.2- Second attempt: Without changing anything it passed over the OpenGL and found library… (HOW can this happen? because I didn’t change anything…)

Tue Jun 15 17:08:45 GMTDT 2010: END
Ok I had erros in:
/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/raster/r.mapcalc
/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/raster/r.mfilter
/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/raster/r.mfilter.fp
/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/raster/r.thin
14.1- running make in r.mapcalc folder I get this error:
c:\osgeo4w\bin..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5........\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lgrass_rowio
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/bin/r.mapcalc.exe] Error 1
14.2- running make in r.mfilter
make: *** No rule to make target /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgrass_rowio.dll', needed by /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/bin/r.mfilter.exe’. Stop.
14.3- Running make in r.mfilter
make: *** No rule to make target /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgrass_rowio.dll', needed by /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/bin/r.mfilter.exe’. Stop.
14.4- running make in r.thin
make: *** No rule to make target /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgrass_rowio.dll', needed by /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/bin/r.thin.exe’. Stop.
Ok So the problem now is: libgrass_rowio.dll. How can I debug this dll and How can I create it? And what might be happening?
This was a HUGE IMPROVE 
Thank you

After a few messages exchanged wirh Martin Landa (thanks Martin) I realized that the problem is only with libgrass_display.dll that cannot be found. Is the only problem. Has anyone ever had the same problem?

About our prevous conversation here goes the compilation of Wingrass with OSGEO4w following a tip from Martin (not installing GRASS desktop from OSGEO4W)
1- I identified the extra modles that GRASS-desktop installation requires and installed only thse (except GRASS_locale and GRASS_gdal).
2- Run all thee steps from http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows#CompilingandInstalling until COMPILING AND INSTALLING GRASS (GRASS6.4.0) step 1.
3- Downloaded a Weekly snapshot from here http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/source/snapshot/ (http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/source/snapshot/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12.tar.gz)
4- Unpack gz and then tar to c:\osgeo4\usr\src
5- Inside C:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12 I runned:
./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh
(currently, no folder named grass is in c:/osgeo4w/apps)
-
in my first (3) attempts I got errors in libraries that I installed in step 6 of the Wiki. I had to Reinstalled them.
-
log includes my log file from this process (at: http://pastebin.com/UdhLyv6f)
-
error.log is the error report. I got errors in almost all executable.
QUESTION1:How can I add Python support to yes ? ( I will need Wxpython and use pythonscripts and probably pygdal)
It created:
a grass folder in /apps/
- folder named bin in apps/grass with 2 files: grass64 and grass64.bat
- a folder name grass-6.4.0svn with the following fodlerd: bin; bwidget; docs; driver, etc, fonts, include; lib; locale; scripts; tools.
and it seems to be running but all the functions in error.log are not available.
QUESTION2: What did I did that was wrong?
6- I went to C:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12\display and runned
make -C d.histogram MODULE_TOPDIR= C:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12
because d.histogram is one of the functions that is not available
And I got:
make: Entering directory /c/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/display/d.histogram' make: *** No rule to make target /c/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/lib/libgrass_display.dll’, needed by /c/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/dist.i686-pc-mingw32/bin/d.histogram.exe'. Stop. make: Leaving directory /c/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2010_06_12/display/d.histogram’
THank you
