[GRASS-dev] MinGW/MSYS Build

[Huddleston, John]

Thank you Glynn,

I just needed the base libraries to build GSTAT (http://www.gstat.org/download.html); which, I just finished today.

I contacted Colin Harrison to get the Xming X11 libraries.  

Based on your input; though, I'll not pursue this any further.

John

There isn't much point building GRASS with X11 support under native
Windows. The standalone display drivers (d.mon etc) don't work for
reasons unrelated to X.

If you need to use d.mon on Windows, Cygwin is the only option.
