[GRASS-user] Windows GRASS Python GUI problem

GRASS GRASS user

Hi!

I followed the advices on this page to install GRASS (WinGRASS 6.3.0-4)
http://grass.itc.it/grass63/binary/mswindows/native

Then i wanted to try the new Python GUI - installed all packages suggested on this page
http://grass.itc.it/grass63/binary/mswindows/native/#New GRASS Python GUI

And even already added the "Add %PROGRAMFILES%\Python to your PATH system variable." Everything finished..

Then i followed the sentences describing:
Finally, to start GRASS with the new Python GUI, open the GRASS MSYS console, type grass63 -wxpython and then enter.

I startet the GRASS MSYS Console (which came installed with GRASS i guess) but ..
there is no grass63 - only a grass63.bat which is producing (obviously) windows crap output as i know that .bat is neither known in *NIX nor in Linux.

So my Question is: Where to find the grass63 which i can start from MSYS commandline with the -wxpython switch? Or am I on the wrong way here?
I just thought maybe I can give some useful bugreports .. usually I'm also using Linux - but I try to enthuse my work-colleagues to use also GRASS. Maybe the company switches someday :slight_smile:

thanks for any help
regards
Werner

from general point of view, wxGUI need to be also tested under MS
Windows -- for 6.4 release (starting from WinGRASS 6.4.0RC1, maybe
October/November). wxGUI is currently under development, 6.3.0 release
contains quite old version of the wxGUI.

It should be in /usr/local/bin. If it isn't there, you can try
creating it, with the contents:

  #! /bin/sh
  GISBASE=/usr/local/grass-6.3.0
  export GISBASE
  exec "$GISBASE/etc/Init.sh" "$@"

[GISBASE needs to be set to the location where GRASS is installed,
using MSys' filename syntax.]

Hi Werner,

I startet the GRASS MSYS Console (which came installed with GRASS i guess) but ..
there is no grass63 - only a grass63.bat which is producing (obviously) windows crap output as i know that .bat is neither known in *NIX nor in Linux.

it should be due to a bug in my latest WinGRASS installer for XP (and also for 2000, maybe)
You should find the correct grass63 file in C:\GRASS\msys\home\C\Documents and Settings\"Your Username"
Just rename that folder to C:\GRASS\msys\home\"Your Username"

Now it should work.

Marco
