The package wasn't compiled with ODBC support (it would be grass-odbc.html in any case).

OK, my statement is wrong, they should be (partially) there.

It depends on what Glynn has used.

Hamish

Version 6.2.2-1
It has both r.out.vrml and r.out.vrml.html. It also has a p.out.vrml file in the /grass-6.2.2/bin/ folder, which I think contains a symbolic link to r.out.vrml:

!r.out.vrml

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Luigi

OK, but I don't have it: just double checked the folder. Also the binary
in C:\cygwin\usr\local\grass-6.2.2\bin is only 1KB and contains just the
following line

    !<symlink>r.out.vrml

This is what a Cygwin symlink looks like if you open it in a Windows
program (e.g. Notepad).

Note that p.out.vrml is just a symlink to r.out.vrml (the name has
changed).

Now we need someone who builds again and watches out for errors
originating from tools/build_html_index.sh + r.support Makefiles.

There was an error in the "locale" directory (caused by having a
native "msgfmt" in the path), so build_html_index.sh didn't get run.

The message catalogues all seem to be there, so I think that I re-run
"make -C locale" manually and failed to notice the build_html_index.sh
issue.

I doubt that those files are likely to be platform-dependent, so they
could just be copied over from e.g. a Linux build of 6.2.2.

OK, done.

Do you have any idea about the not stripped .exe extension in the
r.support subdirs?

Those programs all have e.g.:

  PGM = modcats$(EXE)

Part of this is because the "etc" target doesn't handle this
automatically (unlike the "cmd" and "inter" targets), and part is
because the Makefile refers to the command as:

default: etc
  $(MKDIR) $(ETC)/support
  mv $(ETC)/$(PGM) $(ETC)/support

AFAICT, we need to:

1. Change Module.make to assume that PGM doesn't have the $(EXE)
suffix.
2. Remove the $(EXE) from the PGM definition in the modules'
Makefiles.
3. Modify the modules' Makefiles to use $(PGM)$(EXE) where necessary.

But I have no idea whether other modules rely upon the existing
behaviour.

BTW, the 6.2.2 Modules.make file uses $(EXE_SUFFIX), which doesn't
appear to get set anywhere. Cygwin itself doesn't need the .exe
suffix, but it sometimes gets added by the linker (AFAICT, it only
gets added if the filename doesn't contain a dot).
