<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to build QGIS under windows;</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> I started reading in the QGIS wiki about compilation (BuildingFromSource document)<A href="http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource">http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/BuildingFromSource</A></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>After reading introduction and building notes, I jumped to section</FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=line874>1. those errors are dued to not complete execution of instruction in 6.2.2, or should I recompile GRASS libraries by myself?</P>
