WxGUI, menu does not work at all (languages using double-byte characters)

[naokiueda]

I downloaded latest GRASS6.4.1 and tested.

I tested WX-Python GUI. Windows7, Japanese environment.

Most Menu and commands does not work at all. TckTk GUI forks fine, though. There are error messages shown in command console.

Unless this is solved, WX-Python GUI is useless.

Note that, this may be same problem as OSGEO4W Track ticket#228 by Mr.Hayashi.

Regards, Nao

Can you try more recent version from ​http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass64/ ?

[martinl]

No answer, downgrading priority...

[venkat]

The problem still persists in GRASS-6.4.2-SVN, GRASS-6.4.2-RC1, and GRASS-6.4.1. Tried with winGRASS on Windows-7 English and also Japanese version

Can't continue with further tests if d.rast does not start.

Not sure why winGRASS standalone is looking up the osgeo4W directory.

Did you compiled GRASS on your own?

No. I use 6.4.SVN from 6.4.svn:

• standalone nightly: ​http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass64/
• OSGeo4W nightly: ​http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass64/osgeo4w/

Have winGRASS and OSGeo4W installed on my machine

Not sure why winGRASS standalone is looking up the osgeo4W directory.

moreover, it's looking up the *source code* directory, which is very very strange. Does c:/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass64_release/dist.i686-pc-mingw32 exist on your computer? I presume that yes, and I wonder why. Haven't you compiled GRASS on your Windows machine in the past?

Did you compiled GRASS on your own?

No. I use 6.4.SVN from 6.4.svn:

Are you sure? I wonder how could

c:/osgeo4w/usr/src/grass64_release/dist.i686-pc-mingw32

be created without compiling winGRASS. OSGeo4W GRASS package is installed to

c:\osgeo4w\apps\grass\grass-<version>

Anyone else with this problem? I wonder that something is bad with your installation, see my previous notes.

tested here ​http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.2RC1-1-Setup.exe on a fresh german 64bit-win7-box and on german 32bit-winvista-box, I can't reproduce these errors.

Thanks for testing. The error cannot be reproduced on your computer because "system locale" is perhaps set to german. System local can be changed from Contro Panel --> Region and Language --> Change system locale. On Japanese Windows-7 the system locale is set to "Japanese". (Japanese/Chinese/Korean are use double byte encoding, unlike English, German etc.). d.rast wxGUI works if I set the "system locale" to English or German (I tried with German too).

The problem that I am reporting is peculiar to languages using double-byte characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean). You should be able to reproduce the error by setting the Change system locale to Japanese,

maybe change the title that an encoding issue is here the problem?
