[GRASS-windows] GRASS add-ons for Windows users

[Olivier Vannier]

Hi all,

Thanks Markus and Antonio for your answers.

I finally succeeded in installing the r.stream.basins addon I needed.

 I followed, step-by-step, the advices on how to install and configure 
MinGW in order to compile Grass-6.4 on my windows system (described here 
: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows). Then the problem I 
had is that some libraries needed by the addon where missing in my 
own-compiled Grass 6.4 /lib/ folder. The solution I found was to copy 
and paste theses libraries (libgrass_gis, libgrass_vect, libgrass_dig2, 
libgrass_dbmibase, libgrass_dbmiclient) from the /extralib/ folder of 
another precompiled winGRASS 6.4 I had on my machine. Not so clean, but 
it works, and that's the main thing !

Thanks again to all the development team.

Olivier
