[GRASS-dev] Fwd: Old version of msys in package causes problems on Windows Vista (x64)

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

FYI:

http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/118

>Reported by:  	brfr
>This ticket concerns the WinGRASS and OSGEO4W versions on Windows Vista (x64).

>I had problems executing grass commands that are batch files. I tested some variants in the grass command shell and it seems that there is a problem with the >/msys/sh.exe. I tried the latest version that is available on the MSYS/MinGW website and that solved my problems. The shipped version with OSGEO4W is >"Snapshot-2007.01.19-1", the currently available is "Production Release". My notes are available on the mailing list.
