<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>>There is a separate dev Windows package that you need to instal for wx-config</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>oh... I thought it must exist! ;-) but I still didn't find it... I'll look better...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>>That said, you don't need to install this unless you want to try to <BR>>compile the new in-development digitizer. Most people are still <BR>>having difficulty compiling this and I know that Martin is actively <BR>>working on it. It would certainly be helpful to him if you wanted to <BR>>try compiling the digitizer in Windows--but this isn't necessary to <BR>>run the rest of the wxPython GUI.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>mhhh... confused! if I don't have wx-config I cannot enable the new wxPython GUI! (configure fails)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>>You don't need to enable Python in GDAL to use the wxPython GUI. But <BR>>perhaps you are trying to enable Python in GDAL for other reasons?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, you're right. I'm working on a new MSYS environment for GRASS, and I'm trying to build the most options as possible to let user work on and test them in WinGrass (even if I'm not personally able to use those options).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you tell me what data GRASS Makefile needs from wx-config file, I could modify configure and Makefile in order to work without wx-config</FONT></DIV>
