[GRASS-dev] the meaning/the need of the variable GISRC?

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

hi devs,

this question is related to Ticket #2448 [1]

[2] says:

GISRC
    name of .grass7/rc file. Defines the system wide value while in a GRASS
session.

from the ticket [3]:

"One other thing is that it is not clear to me what changed that now GISRC
variable is required but it was not before. "

this question raises up while running g.mkfontcap outside a grass session
during a standalone-winGRASS 7.x installations [4].

the error [5] is:

"Setup of WinGRASS-7.0.0
Generating the font configuration file by scanning various directories for
fonts

Please wait. Console window will close automatically ....
ERROR: GISRC - variable not set"

any ideas about "GISRC - variable not set"
