[GRASS5] QGIS - GRASS data provider

GRASS vector data provider was uploaded to QGIS CVS.
GRASS++ library was merged to the provider and isn't required any more.

Install:
cvs update -dP
autogen.sh
./configure --with-grass=/path/to/gisbase

If QGIS is not run inside GRASS session, set GISBASE before
and add your path to GRASS libs to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Look at screenshots: http://qgis.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
and user guide: http://qgis.sourceforge.net/docs/userguide.html
to see some of those nice new QGIS features.

Thanks to all QGIS developers.

Does it mean, that I can't use GRASS (5.7) without QGIS any more?

And could You explain me (only brief), why are You using Qt-based program?
I do not understand programming too much, but, as user, I would prefer GTK+
library.

Thank You

No (of course not!). I think Radim means if you have GRASS installed, then
install QGIS, you can access GRASS data from QGIS straight away.

And could You explain me (only brief), why are You using Qt-based program?

Radim did not write QGIS; it was already existing.

I do not understand programming too much, but, as user, I would prefer GTK+
library.

ISTR a year or two ago there was some kind of a consensus on the mailing
list that GTK would be good for a GRASS GUI. But nobody has written a
GRASS GUI. If you want it, go ahead and do it yourself. (that is the way
GRASS development gets done). :slight_smile:

OK, so nothing has changed ... only the way "how they do it" works
better now...

I know, thanks.

Well, that is good point of view.

I know, I know... maybe some time,
when I come back to C... I would not say, that Perl is the best tool
for it ;o)

Thanks a lot
