Packager Notes

• Compile guide used: ​http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html
• Depends on the MSYS package for commandline operations, because GRASS uses unix shell scripts.
• WinGRASS is built with MSYS/MinGW. The libraries used to link to the VC++ built GDAL & friends is in the mingw-libs package.
• There is also a grass-vc package, that contains the VC++ built GRASS libraries. These are used in the Quantum GIS GRASS plugin.
