An overview of the dependencies required for building with MingW
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:
- Download the MSYS installer from here.
Install to c:\msys At the command prompt question for post install, type n and then enter.
- Download the MSYS coreutils package from here: -> MSYS Base System (currently MSYS-1.0.11)
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)
- Download the MinGW installer from here
- Run and select "Download and Install, "Current Version";
- Install only "g++ compiler" and "MinGW Make";
- Install to c:\msys\mingw (so, into a new folder) - this will download various tools and install them
- Download and install Python 2.x from here: use their Windows installer to install it on your system (doesn't matter where).
- Download and install wxPython from here (select version according to Python version taken above)
- more?
Installing PROJ4 library
(untested)
Unpack it to c:\msys\. This will "insert" the files into the right directories.
Question: How to use instead OSGeo4W-Proj4 binaries via installer?
Installing GDAL library
(untested)
Unpack it to c:\msys\. This will "insert" the files into the right directories.
Question: How to use instead OSGeo4W-GDAL via installer?
Compiling and Installing GRASS (6.4.0)
- Download the latest GRASS 6.4.0 source code from here.
- Unpack to c:\msys\local\src (create these folders first)
To compile, type in MSYS console:
Note: this needs to be updated, see also grass64/mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh
cd /usr/local/src/grass-6.4.svn_src_snapshot_2009_03_07 ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local \ --with-includes=/usr/local/include \ --with-libs=/usr/local/lib \ --disable-x11 \ --without-x \ --with-cxx \ --enable-shared \ --enable-largefile \ --with-opengl=windows \ --with-fftw \ --with-freetype \ --with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj \ --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \ --with-tcltk --with-tcltk-includes=/usr/local/tcl-tk/include --with-tcltk-libs=/usr/local/tcl-tk/bin \ --with-sqlite --with-sqlite-includes=/usr/local/sqlite/include --with-sqlite-libs=/usr/local/sqlite/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:
GRASS is now configured for: i686-pc-mingw32
Source directory: /usr/local/src/grass-6.4.0
Build directory: /usr/local/src/grass-6.4.0
Installation directory: ${prefix}/grass-6.4.0
Startup script in directory: ${exec_prefix}/bin
C compiler: gcc -g -O2
C++ compiler: c++ -g -O2

Having GRASS successfully configured, now you can compile it:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/tcl-tk/bin:/usr/local/sqlite/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/lib:$PATH" make
When finished, you should have the following compilation log:

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. -- Finished compilation: Mon Feb 16 10:11:17 GMT 2009 make: *** [default] Error 1
Currently r.li.* cannot be compiled on Windows.
The best way to check details, is to open c:\msys\local\src\grass-6.4.0\error.log using your favourite web client/editor.
Installation
Then install GRASS:
make install
Now GRASS should be installed in c:\msys\local\grass-6.4.0\
Usage
The startup grass64.bat file should be in c:\msys\local\bin\grass64.bat
If using the grass64.sh instead, add to that file:
# Set the PYTHONPATH PYTHONPATH="$GISBASE/etc/python:$PYTHONPATH"
See also: grass64/mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh for a scripted approach in the OSGeo4W environment.
