[GRASS-user] import E00 files in GRASS under Cygwin

GRASS GRASS user

Dear,

I use GRASS 6.1 under Cygwin and I want to import E00 files in GRASS.

v.in.e00 calls for avcimport. I suppose the gz. File is to be used (or is it also possible with the Win32 files) ? But where is it to be installed and how can it be activated? Does a C-compiler needs to be installed for this?

It was a thread earlier on the mailing list but I couldn’t find a sufficient answer.

Thanks,

Stefaan

I am afraid you need to compile from sources for cygwin. Perhaps
someone has some experiences compiling avcimport on cygwin?

Good luck.

I followed Hamish's instructions and it worked for me:

It is worth a try to build it yourself from the .tgz package,

./configure
make
make install
