In r48545 the addons modules are at least scanned. So it's possible to call them from wxGUI cmd. It would be also good to add them dynamically to the menu and enable to search for them by desc/keywords etc.

Backported to devbr6 for testing.

Replying to martinl:

do not scan $GRASS_ADDON_PATH/bin/ and $GRASS_ADDON_PATH/scripts/. rather just scan $GRASS_ADDON_PATH. executables are (ie should be) symlinked back into there if they happened to be installed to ./bin/ or ./scripts/. (I see no reason why with a little more work bin/ and scripts/ couldn't be skipped entirely, and save the trouble of the symlinking)

the $GRASS_ADDON_PATH variable is meant to be part of the $PATH variable, it is not meant to be --prefix= or $ADDON_BASE. (see also William's approach using $GRASS_ADDON_ETC found in lib/gis/find_etc.c and documented in macosx/Readme.rtf)

thanks, Hamish

But that's the way how GRASS_ADDON_PATH currently works in G7. It's topic for discussion of course. Basically this variables currently serves in G7 as GISBASE for Add-ons modules. This approach doesn't require adding new and new variables for etc, html or man pages. It's the main advantage of this approach, personally I don't know about disadvantages (please correct me). In G7 everything is installed to the one place, by default $HOME/.grass7/addons on GNU/Linux.
