+
+== An overview of the dependencies required for building ==
+
+We use a simplified approach with pre-built libraries for all the GRASS dependencies.
+
+=== Install the environment for compilation (MingW) ===
+
+MSYS supplies many utilities from UNIX world in Windows:
+
+1. Download the '''MSYS installer''' from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 here]: -> MSYS Base System (currently MSYS-1.0.11) -> MSYS-1.0.xx-yyyymmdd-dll.tar.gz (i386)
+
+    Install to c:\msys
+    At the command prompt question for post install, type n and then enter.
+
+2. Download the '''MSYS coreutils package''' from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 here]: -> MSYS Base System (currently MSYS-1.0.11) -> coreutils-5.97-MSYS-1.0.xx-snapshot-src.tar.bz2 (i386)
+
+    Unpack it to a temporary folder, then copy all the content of the coreutils-5.97 folder to c:\msys (overwrite the existing files when asked)
+
+3. Download the '''MinGW installer''' from [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 here]: -> Automated MinGW Installer -> MinGW 5.x.y (currently MinGW 5.1.4)
+
+    Select "Download and Install Current Version";
+    Install only "g++ compiler" and "MinGW Make";
+    Install to c:\msys\mingw
+
+4. Download and install Python from [http://python.org/download/ here]: use their Windows installer to install it on your system (doesn't matter where).
+
+5. Get wxPython
+
+  ... ? package from OSGeo4W?
+
+=== Compiling and Installing PROJ4 ===
+
+* Source Code: http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-4.6.1.tar.gz  (Unpack to c:\msys\local\src\)
+* Datum shift grids: http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.4.zip (Unpack to c:\msys\local\src\proj-4.6.0\nad\)
+
+... ? TBD
+
+=== Compiling and Installing GDAL ===
+
+...? TBD
+
+=== Compiling and Installing GRASS (6.4.0) ===
+
+Download the GRASS source code from [http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/source/snapshot/ here].
+
+Unpack to c:\msys\local\src
+
+In MSYS console, type:
+
+{{{
+cd /usr/local/src/grass-6.4.0
+./configure \
+--prefix=/usr/local \
+--with-includes=/usr/local/include \
+--with-libs=/usr/local/lib \

+--with-postgres --with-postgres-includes=/usr/local/pgsql/include --with-postgres-libs=/usr/local/pgsql/lib

+When finished, you should have the following screen output:

+In case of errors please change into the directory with error and run 'make'.
+If you get multiple errors, you need to deal with them in the order they
+appear in the error log. If you get an error building a library, you will
+also get errors from anything which uses the library.

+}}}
+
+The best way to check it, is to open c:\msys\local\src\grass-6.4.0\error.log using your favourite web client.
+
+Then install GRASS:
+
+    make install
+
+Now GRASS should be installed in c:\msys\local\grass-6.4.0\
+
+The startup grass64.bat file should be in c:\msys\local\bin\grass64.bat
+
+
+See also: grass64/mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh for a scripted approach in the OSGeo4W environment.
