Thanks to Mike Thomas we have precompiled winGRASS with X Server support
now.
I have update the install instructions (much easier now):
http://grass.itc.it/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/cygwin_grass50bininstall.html
Related to winGRASS with X Server support under XFree86 it's nice to
know that Cygwin/Xfree now support -multiwindow. The GRASS looks like
the screenshot on top of:
http://grass.itc.it/wingrass.html
The winGRASS with X Server support version supports all GRASS
modules including 'tcltkgrass' and 'nviz'.
After installation, first start the X Server:
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard &
Now the X Server is listening and will open X related windows in individual
windows. Then start GRASS as usual:
grass5
d.mon x0
d.mon sel=x0
tcltkgrass &
nviz elevation.dem vect=roads &
This runs GRASS similar to a common MS-Windows application.
Cheers,
Markus Neteler
