[GRASS-dev] Error compiling GRASS 7 on Windows - Unknown platform i686-pc-msys

[Robin Wilson]

Hi all,

I've been trying to compile GRASS 7 (latest svn) on Windows, following the instructions at http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows. When running the package.sh script from within MSYS I got nothing displayed on a screen, waited only a short time, and then got back to the command prompt. I assumed it hadn't work, and found the package.log file (see below). It seems that it can't deal with a platform of i686-pc-msys.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Have I got some configuration wrong somewhere?
