<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>just few questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) did you used /win subdirectory to compile?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) did you performed make test?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did it, and had lots of "FAILED"!</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Spurred on by the work that Marco is doing, I've finally got around to<BR>packaging the new versions of essential libraries for WinGRASS that I<BR>compiled a couple of months ago. In case it is helpful to anybody, the<BR>13MB file wingrass-extralibs-20080303.tar.gz now at<BR><A href="http://www.stjohnspoint.co.uk/grass/">http://www.stjohnspoint.co.uk/grass/</A> contains the following versions of<BR>libraries:<BR>xdr-4.0-mingw32<BR>proj-4.6.0<BR>gdal-1.5.0<BR>fftw-2.1.5 (this was before I realised FFTW 3.x is OK with GRASS)<BR>tcl-8.5.0<BR>tk-8.5.0<BR><BR>I have copies of all the source packages but I don't have the<BR>bandwidth/diskspace really to make them available there to download as<BR>well, so this can't be considered an official binary distribution of them.<BR>Nevertheless I hope it is useful.<BR><BR>I didn't compile anything else as I found I was able to get all the other<BR>dependencies from GnuWin32 (<A href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/">http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/</A>), i.e.<BR>libintl, libjpeg, libpng, zlib, libtiff, freetype, curses. No point in<BR>reinventing the wheel when they are already available in an easy-to-use<BR>format.<BR><BR>The 13MB file includes all the libraries and associated utility programs,<BR>source headers and import libraries etc. necessary for compiling.<BR>Obviously only the .dlls (and maybe even then not all of them) need to go<BR>into a GRASS binary distribution, so the size would be much smaller. It's<BR>normally useful though to include a couple of the main GDAL utility<BR>programs: gdalwarp, gdalinfo and so on. nad2bin from the PROJ distribution<BR>is required, and cs2cs is very useful.<BR><BR>I realise this is slightly different from the approach Marco is taking, in<BR>that I'm directing people to GnuWin32 for the stuff that they have<BR>available already - again that's just laziness on my part really but I<BR>think it will be less work in the future.<BR><BR>The great thing about this now is that we can include the Tcl/Tk DLLs in<BR>the binary distribution and don't have to ask people to install a separate<BR>Tcl/Tk any more.<BR><BR>Also I don't have a lot of time to maintain this either, but if someone<BR>wants to run a relatively stripped-down WinGRASS and compile it themselves<BR>it might just be useful, so I thought I'd put it out there to complement<BR>Marco's work.<BR><BR>Paul<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>grass-dev mailing list<BR>grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org<BR><A href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev</A><BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
