[GRASS-user] Re: Cygwin Grass 6.2 compiling?

[Luigi Ponti]

Hello,

Has anyone found a way to compile grass 6.2 on cygwin? 

In his wiki, Huidae Cho said couple of months ago that "unfortunately, the latest 6.1 CVS version does not compile on Cygwin [...]. It seems like Cygwin libraries change too often to follow".

It would be nice to have an official statement on the topic. I am saying this as a cygwin/grass user in transition to ubuntu/grass, so I am aware that a cygwin version of grass is useful to attract windows folks.

Regards,

Luigi

Hi, 

After some years of using grass and noticing that
the cygwin grass version has not been updated
since April 17th, I have decided that I will sit
down and try and compile grass for cygwin myself.

What suggestion does anyone have?  Searching the
grass web & wiki I have notice that no where is
there detailed instructions on compiling grass for
cygwin.  Is this correct?

I have downloaded 
grass-6.2.cvs_src_snapshot_2006_08_22.tar.gz

And off of the http://geni.ath.cx/grass.html page
I have installed :
gdal-grass6.1.cvs-1.2.3-2.tar.bz2.tar
mesa-grass-6.2-1.tar.bz2.tar
tcltk-grass-8.4.7-1.tar.bz2.tar
tiff-grass-3.7.1-1.tar.bz2

Is it worth getting more recient libraries?
