[GRASS-dev] WinGRASS-6.3.0RC6 & Python GUI

[Marco Pasetti]

I'm afraid folks.. I'm a gigantic idiot!!!

I supposed to work with the *package version* that has all the dlls in an
unique folder, while I was launching grass from the *original* msys
environment, where pgsql.dll is placed in the specific pgsql/lib folder!!!
(Glynn, as usual you were right!!!)

Sorry!

Now the new python interface works, and it automatically starts even if I
don't specify -wxpython after grass63 command in shell.
I didn't have time to perform many tests, but opening existing locations it
seems to work; only two things:

1) when I exit it reports the following message in msys shell:

$ grass63
Cleaning up temporary files.....

2) When I create a new location using epsg codes, next button is not enabled
since I don't press Browse codes, even if I already typed the desired code.
Then, I remember that when I created locations with epsg=3003, GRASS asked
me to select an option for towgs84 parameters; now GRASS asks me only for
"Datum Transformation" without showing descriptions for the options (and
narrows button don't work too, I need to enter the option manually)

Thanks and goodnight
