I thought I'd try the wxPython gui with wingrass. I downloaded
wingrass63RC4.zip and installed it. Also python 2.4 and
wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.7.1-py24.exe.

The README file at
http://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk/gui/wxpython/README says

Go to directory:

$ cd gui/wxpython

I assume that means c:/grass63RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/etc/gui. But there is no
wxpython folder there, just folders for icons and scripts. Either I'm
looking in the wrong gui directory or the wxpython directory doesn't come
with wingrass, or I'm doing something else wrong.

Jerry,

The old readme is out of date with the move to the new SVN.

the wxPython GUI is installed by default in GRASS 6.3 when you compile (unless you got a version for the few days prior to yesterday).

Once you have Python (I'd recommend going with the current 2.5 rather than the legacy 2.4 version) and wxPython installed, all you *should* have to do is type wxgrass from the command line to launch the new GUI in Linux and Mac.

From Windows, there is no command line, so you'll need to change your .grassrc6 file a bit. Change the line that says...

GRASS_GUI: tcltk

...to read

GRASS_GUI: wx

...and save the file.

By default, the .grassrc6 file is in your Windows home directory (I think that's the directory where My Documents is found).
Please let us know how it works for you.

So, I updated recently through svn the source and now I got GRASS
6.3.0RC4 running.

Why isn't wxgrass there by default?

Cheers,

Nikos.

this file should be up-to-date... I hope:-)

releasebranch_6_3 contains completely out-dated code, see

Hi,

hm, maybe we should remove old wxpython code from 6_3 branch or to
copy the code from trunk before 6.3.0 will be released. To avoid
confusion...

Anyway for testing GUI use trunk (or in the future 6_4 branch).

Michael, I just downloaded the binary for wingrass. No compilation attempts
in windows yet.

In the meantime I downloaded the latest source from svn (using tortoiseSVN),
copied the wxpython folder to the gui folder, copied the wxgrass file to the
scripts folder. I want to use msys so I can run scripts so I launch msys, cd
to the bin directory of grass63 and type grass63 -wx. No good. Then I type
wxgrass. Still no good. But I think the main problem is that the grass
scripts can't find python. The $PATH variable in msys is
/c/grass63RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/lib:/c/grass63RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/bin:/c/grass63
RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/scripts:.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Program: No
such file or directory

Which is a bit bizarre, but in particular contains no reference to python in
it.

The following is what happens when I do
$ grass63 -wx
Cleaning up temporary files.....
Starting GRASS ...
/c/grass63RC4/grass-6.3.0RC4/etc/Init.sh: python: command not found
ERROR: Invalid return code from gis_set.tcl.
Please advise GRASS developers of this error.

I haven't yet figured out how msys gets its path value.

"wxgrass" is a shell script (in $GISBASE/scripts/) that launches the wxPython GUI. You can call it from the terminal in Linux and on the Mac. There is no terminal for WinGRASS and I don't know what happens if you try to call it from the TclTk command console.

So, to launch the wxPython GUI in Windows, you have to start it from the beginning by altering the .grassrc6 file.

I guess I don't understand the branches well enough in the SVN to make sense of this. Perhaps that is what the problem is.

To get it, people need to update from the 6.3 trunk.

As Martin explained better than I, there is old code in the release branch. But if you update from the SVN trunk, you don't need to copy the wxPython GUI code anywhere. It is already where it is supposed to go.

I just looked at the WinGRASS binary code and see the problem. For some reason, it is not in this binary. It is in the Mac binaries, which is why this has seemed so odd to me.

If you want to put it in manually, the gui code goes into $GISBASE/etc/wx (you'll have to make the directory). You need to also get the wxgrass bash script and put it into $GISBASE/scripts.

I am sorry for bothering again.

I am on ubuntu.

I updated (sudo svn up) from within
the /usr/local/src/MyGRASSsourceDirectory
Configured-compilled-installed.

No wxgrass anywhere.. only a few irrelevant scripts under... :

GRASS 6.3.0RC4 (Peloponnese_HGRS87):/usr/local/grass-6.3.0RC4/etc/gui >
ls
icons scripts

So... I go in /usr/loca/src/MyGRASSsrcDir/gui

directory and I only find "wxpython" as a folder which does not contain
any "wxgrass" script.

GRASS 6.3.0RC4
(Peloponnese_HGRS87):/usr/local/src/release_20080109_grass_6_3_0RC4/gui/wxpython > ls
archive gm.wxp grass-interface.dtd mapdisp.py scripts
gism.py grassgui.py Makefile render.py

So I can't copy or create links!

Sorry to cause confusion - I ported the trunk wxpython updates to my copy of RC4 for my binaries, since I was doing that for previous SVN builds before wxgrass was merged into GRASS. I guess that makes it technically not RC4 binaries.

As Martin explained better than I, there is old code in the release
branch. But if you update from the SVN trunk, you don't need to copy
the wxPython GUI code anywhere. It is already where it is supposed to
go.

I just looked at the WinGRASS binary code and see the problem. For
some reason, it is not in this binary. It is in the Mac binaries,
which is why this has seemed so odd to me.

I can include it. The last time I tried, however, there were a few linux
specific functions which kept it from working (see
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-gui/2007-November/000639.html)

If you want to put it in manually, the gui code goes into $GISBASE/etc/
wx (you'll have to make the directory). You need to also get the
wxgrass bash script and put it into $GISBASE/scripts.

This should work from within msys, but won't work when called from cmd.exe
as you cannot easily use shell scripts there. We would need a cmd.exe .bat
file. On the other hand, it might be easier if the wxgrass team could just
rewrite that shell script to python and thus make it portable across all
platforms.

But you can launch wxgrass quite easily by running the command contained
in the wxgrass shell file yourself, i.e. something like:

c:\programme\Python25\python.exe c:\grass\grass-6.3.svn\etc\wx\wxgui.py

However, I currently get the following error:

*****
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\grass\grass-6.3.svn\etc\wx\wxgui.py", line 53, in <module>
    import gui_modules.utils as utils

    from win32file import ReadFile, WriteFile

****

and am too tired to look into it now.

Nikos,

These are in the trunk. I'm not sure why they are not in 6.3.0RC4.

Hi,

2008/1/16, Martin Landa <landa.martin@gmail.com>:

hm, maybe we should remove old wxpython code from 6_3 branch or to
copy the code from trunk before 6.3.0 will be released. To avoid
confusion...

so if there are no objections I will remove old wxpython code from
releasebranch_6_3...

As Martin mentioned, the 6.3 branch contains outdated files. See
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_3/gui/wxpython
which do not lead to the installation of wxgrass.

Shouldn't this be changed? I thought that the wxpython files were going to move into the 6.3 branch with the move to the SVN and not wait until 6.4. This will allow more people to actively test and improve the new GUI.

Hi,

2008/1/16, Nikos Alexandris <nikos.alexandris@felis.uni-freiburg.de>:

I am sorry for bothering again.

I am on ubuntu.

I updated (sudo svn up) from within

general note, why are you running 'svn up' as sudo??

the /usr/local/src/MyGRASSsourceDirectory

No wxgrass anywhere.. only a few irrelevant scripts under... :

Once more, in grass 6.3 is old wxpython code. Use svn-trunk instead.

Thank you for the clarification (again).

(1) ??? I can put my hand on fire (greek... or universal
expression) that I was getting an error with "svn up" but
now not!

(2) Yes... trunk... (sorry for insisting).

I'm glad that you're finally getting the correct code. I'm confused about it's availability too. Please let us know how it runs once you can get it and test it.
