[Qgis-user] OSGeo4W-packages for GRASS 7 only in QGIS

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Jürgen,

Thanks for your reply.

I am aware that the GRASS plugin is not available in 64bit (I am following yours and Martin Landa`s activity in this regards and looking forward to the 7.0.3 release, hopefully in Januar).

I was referring to OSGeo4W 32bit (sorry for not being specific right away). In 32bit the GRASS 6 plugin works fine, the GRASS 7 plugin hower, is unfortunately not available. As mentioned the package(s) seem incomplete (plugin .dlls seem to be missing).

Based on a comparison of the grass6 and grass7 plugin packages, I assume that in the 32bit-package "qgis-grass-plugin7-2.12.2-1.tar.bz2" (but also in the earlier versions of the plugin (e.g. 2.12.1-1 or 2.10.1-2) the following files are missing:
apps/qgis/plugins/grassplugin7.dll
apps/qgis/grass/bin/qgis.g.browser7.exe

Anyway, many, many thanks for your packaging work, which makes the excellent OSGeo tools easily available!

Kind regards,
Stefan

The grass 7 plugin is only built in 32bit OSGeo4W - the 64bit version doesn't
have a stable 64bit GRASS 7 package yet - only a daily build.   That's going to
change with 7.0.3 (according to Martin Landa).

Yes.  I didn't want to have GRASS6 and 7 in the standalone installer and as said GRASS7 is not available in 64bit yet.
