v.in.gpsbabel on wingrass: g.proj error

[hamish]

Hi,

when running v.in.gpsbabel on wingrass (latest 6.4.0svn) a window pops up that says that g.proj.exe has exited unexpectedly. but then the modules mostly works fine. (but data is not automatically reprojected to the current location; it stays in wgs84 lat/lon)

'g.proj -jf' works fine from the wxGUI command prompt thingie.

Does the problem persist with a recent installer from ​http://josef.fsv.cvut.cz/wingrass/grass64/ ?

[hamish]

Yes, still happens with the6.4.0svn r40456 binary build.

I can confirm that it happens on this line of the script:

OUT_PROJ="g.proj -jf"

running that from the MSys terminal prompt works as expected.

Could you try to remove -f from that line in the script? Just to see which if the "dontprettify" is the problem?

Still breaks with -f removed. $? is "5".

even if I put "g.proj -p" in the script just before the OUT_PROJ=`g.proj -jf` line that dies with exit code 5 too.

... so what does exit code 5 mean in WinXP?

"g.proj --help" in the script does work as expected and exits with $?==0.

Replying to hamish:

apparently exit code 5 is "ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED".

It could be for the PROJ_INFO file, but as the program works fine from the command line I'm not sure what to make it.

I would guess that these modules would also be affected-

m.proj
r.in.aster
r.in.wms
r.tileset
v.in.garmin
v.in.geonames
v.in.gns
v.in.gpsbabel

but e.g. m.proj works fine:

#spearfish
g.region -l | grep center
echo "103d45'W 44d26'15N" | m.proj -i

very weird. can anyone else reproduce this bug? my test case is importing a GPX track file into a lat/long location.

I am still completely baffled by this one.

why does g.proj consistently fail in one particular script with exit code 5, "ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED", and yet works fine from the MSys command line and in other scripts?

Just tested v.in.gpsbabel on a recent (r42640) wingrass installation, works fine, coordinates are properly reprojected, seems to be fixed.

tested on XP using last night's 6.5svn nightly build, imports and reprojects data fine. I'm not sure why though, there hasn't been a change to the g.proj code in a year AFAICT. maybe it was the spawn() code or missing manifest?

still need to retest with 6.4.0, but closing bug as it seems fixed.
