[GRASS-dev] Building winGRASS: packager.sh on MingW calls MS-VS's dumpbin tool

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

when following
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows#CompilingandInstallingGRASS6.4.0
(i.e., running ./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh with MinGW):

GRASS is compiled, HTML manual is built etc.  Then it installs (tar xBf ...),
(man/ is skipped), then "STARTING cleanup", and then

"STARTING building vc libraries"
??
Then it fails with

mswindows/osgeo4w/mklibs.sh: dumpbin: command not found

I wonder why it tries to use VC stuff here. Is it for the QGIS interface?
If so, what's the trick here? If Visual Studio is needed, shouldn't it be
mentioned in the install instructions?

confused,
Markus
