R: R: R: [GRASS-dev] Locking is not supported on Windows

[marco.pasetti at alice.it]

Hi Glynn,
 
OK. I summarize:
 
if I launch GRASS with the wxpython GUI, g.gisenv works, if either launched from shell (MSYS) or from the module GUI; in fact, after the g.gisenv command, if I run g.list -f type=rast I have the list of all the rasters in the new location
 
if I launch GRASS with the tcltk GUI, g.gisenv doesn't work, neither if launched from MSYS shell, nor from the module GUI: in fact, after it, if I run g.list it says that the location's raster list is empty (as it should be, since I'm in the demolocation)
 
after adding the set GIS_LOCK=0 line in init.bat it works :-)
 
another thing: the manual says:
 
g.gisenv [get=VARIABLE] [set="VARIABLE=value"] [store=string]
   [--verbose] [--quiet]
 
but it's not correct: (in Windows?) should be:
 
g.gisenv [set=VARIABLE=value]
 
in fact, if I type, for example, from the demolocation:
 
g.gisenv set="LOCATION_NAME=GRASS-Tutorial"
 
I have, as output from g.gisenv:
 
GISDBASE='C:/Documents and Settings/Marco/Documenti/GIS DataBase/GRASS Locations';
LOCATION_NAME='demolocation';
MAPSET='PERMANENT';
"LOCATION_NAME='GRASS-Tutorial"';
 
While, if I use the suggested syntax I have:
 
GISDBASE='C:/Documents and Settings/Marco/Documenti/GIS DataBase/GRASS Locations';
LOCATION_NAME='GRASS-Tutorial';
MAPSET='PERMANENT';
 
Thanks for your patience,
 
Marco
