[GRASS-dev] [bug #5218] (grass) wingrass: creating new location from startup screen with projection values fails

[Michael Barton]

This won't work because it requires an interactive xterm. This is not
currently available in wingrass, though I think I remember some discussion
by Glynn suggesting that it might (or might not) be possible to compile
wingrass in such a way as to make this and similar functions work.
