Hi,

I'm following this wiki [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows\] and
I have one question regarding:

Download the MinGW packages: (* updates may be found
here<[https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435]>
*)

>- *Temp bugfix* (see here <[http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/118\]>), *
>msysCORE-1.0.11-bin* from

here<[http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysCORE-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz\]>

THis is asking me to install in C:\MinGW. Is this ok or I should install in
c:\osgeo4w folder?

Thanks

Best regards,
Luis

Hello Helmut

Thanks for your reply but...
That package is composed by:
bin folder
doc folder
etc folder
postinstall folder
m.ico
msys.bat
msys.ico

So I should extract to C:\osgeo4w\apps\msys right? which means it will substitute all those files in bin,doc,etc,postinstall folder and ico/bat files. Right?
