[GRASS-user] r.in.lidar and v.in.lidar missing in new OSGeo4W install (GRASS 7.4.4 and 7.4.3)

As the subject says. I tried downgrading to 7.4.3. but they were missing
there, too. I also tried the standalone GRASS installer to install a
separate instance and they were missing from there.

I had actually upgraded to see if I could get r.in.pdal but that is missing
as well.

My work computer (whose installs I can't control) has r.in.lidar and
v.in.lidar with and older OSGeo4W install, installing GRASS 7.4.0

Anyone else? Is there a solution?

32bit or 64bit?

see the source code for the releasebranch_7_4:

32 bit. I originally did my reinstall in 64 bit but the GRASS plugin didn't
show up in QGIS. (yes, that's another issue I have run into lately, but I
prefer to run GRASS in its own environment anyway). It did in my previous
OSgeo4W install (installing QGIS 2.18 I believe) which was a 32 bit, so I
deleted everything and reinstalled the 32 bit (GRASS plugin still missing,
BTW).

see the source code for the releasebranch_7_4:

Well, what's interesting is these tools exist in my work computer's OSgeo,
which has GRASS 7.4.0 and QGIS 3.0.2. On that computer, I can run commands
such as lasinfo, but when I run them on my personal computer, I get "the
program can't start because ogdi_32b1.dll is missing".

So I guess there is still a bug somewhere, and my work computer has a
release older than the bug.

My Linux box is on the fritz, but I will have to get that up and running
again and try it there.
