[winGRASS] V.type

[Jonathan Aguero]

David,
You are trying to execute a shell script in Windows without Msys. However,
if you need to change the vector type you can use the GRASS extension of
QGIS, either from the menu or from the shell. There is also a way to run
shell scripts in winGRASS see the installation instructions for that:
If you want to be able to run shell scripts (some of the GRASS modules are
actually shell scripts), you also have to install Msys
(http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=mingw&filename=MSY
S-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe or if this link does not work, go to
http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml); in order for shell scripts to work,
you will have to add msys' lib and bin directories to your path in the
grass63.bat file.

Got the following error when trying VECTOR > CONVERT OBJECT TYPES 


Couldn't execute "..etc\gui\scripts\v.type.sh" 

I was then left with a blank window #24 

Cheers
