Compiling GRASS on MS-Windows

Dependencies required for building with MinGW

Compiling your own copy of GRASS is greatly simplified by using the OSGeo4W directory structure to install most dependencies and downloading the rest from a few other locations. Follow the steps below to set up the build environment for GRASS. Some hints for building a 64bit winGrass are here.

Install the OSGeo4W directory structure

OSGeo4W has several of the required dependencies for compiling GRASS:

Download the OSGeo4W installer from here.

Run the installer.

Select Advanced Install, and Next.

Set the install directory to c:\OSGeo4W (other directories or fine if there are no spaces in the path but make sure to adjust the instructions below (?)). The MSYS maintainers have made it clear that they will not support spaces in path names nor accept patches fixing those issues. With some patches to msys.bat however it is possible to install a built GRASS into C:\Program Files\.

Select grass (see pkg-grass for details) from the desktop section (for dependencies, this is a binary but we'll compile from source later).

Also select:

Commandline_Utilities
- mingw (see pkg-msys for details)

Libs:
- fftw-devel
- freetype-devel-mingw
- gsl-devel
- liblas-devel (GRASS 7 only)
- libpng-devel-mingw
- libtiff-devel
- libxdr
- libxml2
- pdcurses-devel
- tcltk-devel (GRASS 6 only)
- zlib-devel

Optionally select also GDAL plugins for common GIS formats (be careful not to introduce GPL incompatibilities)

Libs:
- gdal-ecw
- gdal-mrsid

Click Next, the selected packages and their required subpackages will be downloaded and installed automatically.

Optionally uninstall grass and msys package

Compiling and Installing GRASS (6.4.x)

Download the latest weekly snapshot GRASS 6.4.x source code from here (for latest SVN version, see below)

Unpack to c:\osgeo4w\usr\src

To compile, type in MSYS console:

cd /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass-6.4xxx (change to dir of the version you downloaded)
./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh

Check error.log for any error messages and mswindows/osgeo4w/package.log if you're having problems.

GRASS should now be installed in c:\osgeo4w\apps\grass\grass-6.4.x

Usage

To start GRASS use the icon on the desktop.

OR, if you want to be able to use the command line from within GRASS

Type in MSYS console:
```
grass64
```

Or to use the new wxPython GUI:

grass64 -wxpython

Compiling and Installing Development Versions of GRASS

Optional Installation of Subversion

The GRASS source tree is stored in an online repository called Subversion. Rather than downloading source trees from the website, Subversion lets you keep up to date, and manage your modifications, with simple commands or a graphical tool. For details, see here.

A) Command line based:

Download Collabnet Subversion Command-Line Client (1.6) from here. (You'll have to register on Collabnet)

Run the subversion installer and install it to a path without spaces such as c:/Subversion

Open c:\osgeo4w\etc\ini\msys.bat and at line 1 add the path to your subversion folder, e.g. change:
```
PATH %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\msys\bin
```
to:
```
PATH %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\msys\bin;c:\Subversion
```

B) Graphical user interface based:

Alternatively, get TortoiseSVN, a plugin for Windows Explorer, which can be used for managing the local source tree. Download here.

GRASS 6.4.svn (releasebranch_64)

Download the grass-6.4.svn source tree with:

Subversion (also see here)

cd /osgeo4w/usr/src
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/ grass64_release
cd /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass64_release

Download a weekly snapshot from here and unpack to /osgeo4w/usr/src

See below for compilation and installation.

After installation, start with:
```
grass64
```

GRASS 6.5.svn (develbranch_6)

Download the grass-6.5.svn source tree with:

Subversion (also see here)

cd /osgeo4w/usr/src
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/branches/develbranch_6/ grass6_devel
cd /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass6_devel

Download a weekly snapshot from here and unpack to /osgeo4w/usr/src

See below for compilation and installation.

After installation, start with:
```
grass65
```

GRASS 7.0.svn (trunk)

Download the grass-7.0.svn source tree with:

Subversion (also see here)

cd /osgeo4w/usr/src
svn checkout https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass/trunk grass_trunk
cd /osgeo4w/usr/src/grass_trunk

Download a weekly snapshot from here and unpack to /osgeo4w/usr/src

See below for compilation and installation.

After installation, start with:
```
grass70
```

Compiling and Installing

To compile, type in MSYS console:

./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh

To update your source tree later using subversion and recompile type:

make distclean
svn up
rm mswindows/osgeo4w/configure-stamp
./mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh

Troubleshooting

Here are a few common problems and their solutions:

With module...	If you get the error	Do the following
r.mapcalc, r.univar, or raster3d/base	No rule to make target ... needed by 'progs'	Update msys's make (see step 8 in the MinGW section above)
scripts/*	ImportError: No module named grass	Fix `PYTHONPATH` to *nix-style (eg. `PYTHONPATH=/osego4w/apps/Python25`)

Creating a WinGRASS Installer

The instructions for creating a WinGRASS native installer (self-contained package installer) using the scripts contained in the mswindows directory. In order to avoid mistakes or misunderstandings, we highly recommend to follow each step and command exactly as they are written in this document. See also scripts used for daily builds.

Install OSGeo4w Tree and Compile GRASS

First of all download the OSGeo4W installer, install the required dependencies, and build GRASS from source. Do not move on to step two until you have successfully tested your new version of GRASS.

Create a GRASS self-contained Package

Copy all the content of the mswindows directory to a temporary directory, for example c:\temp.

Edit file c:\temp\GRASS-Packager.bat to reflect the paths to your OSGeo4W tree and the GRASS version being packaged. Default settings is:

set OSGEO4W_DIR=c:\osgeo4w

Grass64-Release-Version:

set PACKAGE_DIR=.\GRASS-64-Release-Package
set GRASS_PREFIX=%OSGEO4W_DIR%\apps\grass\grass-6.4.1

Grass64-Devel-Version:

set PACKAGE_DIR=.\GRASS-64-Devel-Package
set GRASS_PREFIX=%OSGEO4W_DIR%\apps\grass\grass-6.4.1svn

Grass65-Devel-Version:

set PACKAGE_DIR=.\GRASS-65-Devel-Package
set GRASS_PREFIX=%OSGEO4W_DIR%\apps\grass\grass-6.5.svn

Grass70-Devel-Version:

set PACKAGE_DIR=.\GRASS-70-Devel-Package
set GRASS_PREFIX=%OSGEO4W_DIR%\apps\grass\grass-7.0.svn

Launch the file c:\temp\GRASS-Packager.bat and select version to be packaged.

When finished, you should have a GRASS self-contained release package in c:\temp\GRASS-<Version>-<Release/Dev>-Package, e.g. c:\temp\GRASS-64-Release-Package.

Install NSIS (2.46)

Download the NSIS installer

Install to c:\DevTools

Install NSIS: Untgz Plugin (1.0.16)

Download the NSIS Untgz Plugin

Unzip to c:\DevTools\Plugins\

Create the WinGRASS Installer

Edit file c:\temp\GRASS-Installer.nsi to reflect path to the GRASS source tree. Default settings is:

Grass64:
!define DEMOLOCATION_PATH "c:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass64_release\demolocation"
!define MSYS_BATCH "C:\OSGeo4W\usr\src\grass64_release\mswindows\osgeo4w\msys.bat"

Grass65:
!define DEMOLOCATION_PATH "c:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass6_devel\demolocation"
!define MSYS_BATCH "C:\OSGeo4W\usr\src\grass6_devel\mswindows\osgeo4w\msys.bat"

Grass70:
!define DEMOLOCATION_PATH "c:\osgeo4w\usr\src\grass_trunk\demolocation"
!define MSYS_BATCH "C:\OSGeo4W\usr\src\grass_trunk\mswindows\osgeo4w\msys.bat"

Define INSTALLER_TYPE

GRASS 6.4: valid options - Release, Devel (default: Release)
GRASS 6.5: valid options - Release, Devel (default: Devel)
GRASS 7.0: valid options - Release, Devel (default: Devel)

Update SVN revision number (see svn info), e.g. change

!define DEV65_SVN_REVISION "36599"

!define DEV65_SVN_REVISION "40505"

Right click on the file c:\temp\GRASS-Installer.nsi and select Compile NSIS Script.

When finished, you should have the WinGRASS release installer in c:\temp.

Misc

Ghostscript

wxGUI Cartographic Composer requires Ghostscript. Install gs package from OSGeo4W.

LibreDWG

Required by GRASS Addons v.in.redwg .

Download http://www.gnu.org/software/libredwg/

TODO: Finish this part.

TODO

Add cairo support to grass-7.0.svn
- Possibly use these cairo binaries deps and bin. (check for newer versions)
- Preferably get cairo added to osgeo4w tree.

Hints

Startup errors after installation

See here: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_errors

Errata

see also OSGeo4W pkg-grass buglist

Some anti-virus software seem to think that the r.out.png.exe module (etc.) is a sneaky attempt to fool you into thinking it's an image instead of what it really is: a program which exports a PNG file. g.version is also reported to set them off. You'll have to bypass these over-zealous warnings as appropriate.

Large File support ("LFS", >2GiB) is currently not supported for 32bit versions of Windows. A 64bit build of GRASS (or more accurately a build of the support libraries needed to build 64bit GRASS) is still in development.
