Dear all,

I would like to download the source files of grass, and compile this under
MSYS/Vista 64bit. My special interest is on use python scripting.
Which version I download? I see four versions on the Source-code section
of 6.4 version.

Cheers

"To extract the current 6.4.x release branch version (stable) use the command:

  svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 grass64_release
"

then: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows

good luck,

Hi Hamish,

I figured out that I need install the svn program and I did.
My question is which of those links are more updated:

svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/tags/release_20090609_grass_6_4_0RC5 grass640_rc5
OR
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4 grass64_release

I am asking this because two important things for me were fixed last week. So the “newest” source matter on my case.

Cheers

releasebranch_6_4 is the most recent (live) version of the stable branch
SVN repository.

6.4.0RC5 was tagged for release from that releasebranch on 2009/06/09.
