<pre wrap="">Dear list,
I have finally found some time to install the new native winGRASS by
Huidae Cho and it was OK.
I was wondering if it is possible to run some scripts I wrote (bash
scripts, containing calls to perl scripts that also use gnuplot) under
the new winGRASS. Based on my ignorance, this sounded to me like
impossible (since it is a Minimalist GNU), then I read in the MinGW
FAQ's that you could...

I think you need first to read up on MSYS, which can provide what you need
in a simpler way than Cygwin. The MS-Windows native binary is actually an
MSYS build - MSYS provides enough shell-level support to run configure
scripts. If Windows Perl and gnuplot are available in your path, they
should also integrate well enough. There are issues with the ordering of
directories in the path, which is not always simple, but may be less of a
problem than using Cygwin.
A concern that I have had is that the current installation is rather
invasive - I already have MinGW and MSYS (and tcltk), and build proj4 and
GDAL there anyway, but the install procedure seems to assume a "bare"
platform - is it possible to respect the fact that some software may
already be present? By the way, I think PostgreSQL is absolute overkill
for Windows.

Thanks Roger,<br>
<br>
I really appreciate that you take the time to answer my obvious
questions. I always wonder if there is any proprietary software that
can provide the support that comes with the lively community of an open
source software like GRASS.<br>
Best,<br>
