Hi
I'm unfortunately living with trying to use Grass out of the xwin part
of cygwin. I've been trying to use i.ortho.photo, and seem to
successfully get through all of the steps, but when I try and
orthorectify (step 8) I get a message "you will get mail when
photo.rectify is complete". After that the computer processes for a
few minutes, then nothing happens. No new raster appears in the target
location. Does anyone have any ideas about what is happening?
Cheers

I don't know what might be happening in your case, but I can say that i.ortho.photo works in Cygwin. And if you add
GRASS_STDERR: 1
to .grassrc5 you will disable the send mail and the message should got to sdtout (your shell window) instead.

Actually, I don't think that's true of photo.rectify.
There is a facility for mailing errors to the user built into the
libgis error functions (G_warning/G_fatal_error), and that can be
disabled by setting GRASS_STDERR.
However, photo.rectify has its own version of this functionality, and
there doesn't appear to be an override. Unless you have a working
"mail" program (which implies a working local mail system), you can't
see the messages.
OTOH, I suppose that you could create a dummy "mail" script which just
appends its input to a log file.

I have not used my [GRASS_STDERR: 1] suggestion with i.ortho.photo, I was just regurgitating an answer I had seen on the list recently and thought it was applicable here. I have no doubt that Glynn's comments are a better path.
