grass under opennt

[Roy Sanderson]

Dear Brian

A couple of months back I experimented with the 30-day demonstration
version of OpenNT that Softway supplies on CD-ROM.  I'm no UNIX guru (in
fact I've never compiled GRASS on any system before), but I managed to get
GRASS 4.2 to compile, but couldn't complete the linking stage, as I was
using a dual boot Win95/WinNT machine.  (the OpenNT ln command requires
NTFS file system).

Most of the GRASS code (version 4.2) compiled without many errors.  One
thing to watch is that some function calls (e.g. ioctl) may need editing -
you'll see the errors flagged up when you begin the compilation.  For your
interest, here is the head file I used, which worked fine.  Good luck!
