[GRASS5] RE: [winGRASS] the " libgrass_gis.dll was not found !" problem

Ok, did what you said and here are the new outputs (no I did not compile
it myself - I used the binary that you provided, but it seems that it
can not locate a couple of libraries: libgrass_gis.dll AND
libgrass_I.dll...)

Subject: Re: [winGRASS] the " libgrass_gis.dll was not found !" problem

OK, ps.map seems to be able to find all libraries.

But libgrass_gis.dll and libgrass_I.dll shouldn't be there. You know,
linked libraries cannot be loaded at run-time because M$-Windows doesn't
support UNIX link. Instead, these linked libraries are used at
compile-time. I don't know why your binary (should be the same as mine)
is linked against libgrass_gis.dll and libgrass_I.dll. Did you compile
it yourself?

Try the following:

1. Delete non 5.7.cvs.dll files and relink them:
   cd /usr/local/grass5.7.cvs-i686-pc-cygwin-11_12_2004/lib
   for i in `/usr/bin/ls | grep -v 5.7.cvs | sed 's/\.dll$//'`
   do
      rm -f $i.dll
      ln -s $i.5.7.cvs.dll $i.dll
   done

2. cygcheck /usr/local/grass5.7.cvs-i686-pc-cygwin-11_12_2004/bin/ps.map

Now, ps.map shouldn't be able to find libgrass_gis.dll. Right?

Done that and here are the results (all not found files exist! -see
