<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>No, the sentence should be reformulated to "The port is of the current<BR>>>GRASS version 6.3. There are no ports of earlier versions of GRASS."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perfect! Now I know that building from RC4 source code is good, without referring to some cvs else.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now the first step is done and I'm sure I worked on the right way (it just finished to re-compile RC4... it takes about two hours!! why so long???)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>I'll have to test this again, but I think you are right. This used to<BR>>>cause problems, but doesn't anymore. Not sure why.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>good</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Ok. I'll ask to ggis-developer.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>The instructions are about how to compile a native windows port of GRASS on its own</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>Is it a problem if I check out only the building, without testing grass as "standalone" complete windows version?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>To do this I should install some other stuffs, and it seems I already overtook my target....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm going to explain....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm an engineering student and I'm making an experimental thesis on solar radiation and mathematic models simulating transitory functioning of solar cells (photovoltaic); I approached GIS few weeks ago only to know how to determinate horizon lines starting from elevation data and a given GPS point (I need that to carefully compare my model results with real measured data); so, I discovered a big and deep world (have you ever heard to pandora's box myth?)... I also discovered that JRC developed a GRASS module called r.horizon that it's perfect for my purpose... even if it's not included in current grass distribution. I looked for sources and informations on how to build executables for windows; I even installed linux (ubuntu 7.10, dual boot with xp pro) on my machine, to let it work easily.... but, for many reasons, I need it on windows... so.. here I am! at this stage I already built r.horizon (and r.sun2 module, also from JRC) without errors... but I want to continue because I think that, if you (developer community) have been so kind in writing wikies and replay to mails, I must replay with tryng to do my job too... ;-)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry for the OT. But I think it was necessary</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
