grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 5.4.0

Downloaded Grass 5.4.0 and tried to install it following instructions on:
http://grass.itc.it/grass54/binary/mswindows_cygwin/
Two typos in following section:
"Open a cygwin shell window and follow the instruction below:
cd /cygdrive/c/download/grass
sh grass5.4.0_i686-pc-cygwin-install.sh grass5.4.0_i686-pc-cygwin.tar.gz
cd /
tar xvfz /cygdrive/c/download/grass/tcltk-8.4.7-cygwin.tar.gz
tar xvfz /cygdrive/c/download/grass/Mesa-6.2-cygwin.tar.gz
tar xvfz /cygdrive/c/download/grass/gdal-1.2.3-cygwin.tar.gz
cd"
"sh grass5.4.0_i686-pc-cygwin-install.sh grass5.4.0_i686-pc-cygwin.tar.gz"
should be
"sh grass5.4.0_i686-pc-cygwin_install.sh grass5.4.0_i686-pc-cygwin_bin.tar.gz"
So: in first section: cygwin_install, rather than cygwin-install
and in last section: cygwin_bin.tar, rather than cygwin.tar
Since the lines are quite long, it took me a while to find out where the errors where even if the system indicated that the filename was wrong.
