Dear list,<br>
<br>
On my MS Window XP machine, I have:<br>
- Cygwin GRASS 6.1.cvs (last Huidae Cho's version);<br>
- Cygwin GRASS 6.2.2-1 (18-Jul-2007);<br>
- Native winGRASS 6.3.cvs (wingrass63_cvs20070801, 01-Aug-2007).<br>
<br>
Some observations:<br>
<br>
The three do not interfere with each other, except for the native
winGRASS 6.3.cvs that needs to reset GISDBASE: in ~/.grassrc6 to an
absolute path at startup (c:\cygwin\home\$USER\ as opposed to
\home\$USER\ which is enough for Cygwin): next time you use a Cygwin
version, it complains that it does not find the database folder (and
vice versa when you use start the native version after a Cygwin/GRASS
session). I understand one is very likely to survive this
inconvenience, but is there a way around it?<br>
<br>
If I use the cygwin_grass.bat script to start GRASS 6.2.2-1 as
described at
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/mswindows/#icon"><http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/mswindows/#icon></a>, I receive
the error message:<br>
<blockquote>Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk

However, if I use a modified grass.bat script (the one that starts
GRASS 6.1.cvs, only with grass62 instead of grass61 in the "run xterm
..." line) everything works fine.The cygwin_grass.bat script only works
if there is an Cygwin/X Server already running from a previous
Cygwin/GRASS session (the Cygwin/X Server stays on after exiting GRASS
-- you have to manually shut it down). It sounds like grass62 starts
before startx has finished, but this is just my impression. Is there a
known fix to this? I have found no answer in email archives.<br>
<br>
Last thing: I have tried to run a shell script on the native winGRASS
6.3.cvs (by typing the script name at the bottom box of "Output -
GIS.m" window and then pressing the different "run" buttons) but it
always fails (the script works fine on Cygwin/GRASS versions) saying:<br>
- nothing if I press "Run";<br>
- nothing if I press "Run (Background)";<br>
- error message if I press "Run UI":<br>
<blockquote>couldn't execute "ita.sh": no such file or directory<br>

- if I press "Run in Xterm", a Windows command prompt flashes briefly
and then disappears.<br>
At first I thought it was a matter of end of line characters, since I
noticed that the shell scripts of the native 6.3.cvs version included
in the "scripts" folder had CR/LF end of line (and they seem to work if
invoked in the way I described above for my own script), while the
Cygwin version of the same scripts had LF end of line. But after
converting end of lines to CR/LF, I get the same results as described
above when I tried to run the script. Any hints on how try running
homemade scripts on native winGRASS?<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
