grass-pkg: wrong version in apps/grass/bin/ scripts

[hamish]

Hi,

this is the 6.4.0svn-2 package.

the /c/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/bin/grass64 and grass64.bat scripts have not been modified to reflect the current version and directory layout. They both still contain "6.4.0RC4" in the GISBASE path name, which doesn't exist.

thanks, Hamish

those scripts are unused. grass64.bat in %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin has been updated.

ok. we had a user report all sorts of problems trying to start GRASS from the provided Msys unix terminal (Vista 64bit). I tried too and hit that script and so filed the bug. Once corrected we get a "Redirection is not supported" error while running the $GISBASE/etc/set_data interactive curses text startup program. From the DOS box and Start Menu icons it all starts ok.

[scripts are still used if grass is launched from the msys terminal]

c:\osgeo4w\apps\grass\bin\grass64 (.sh) has had PYTHONPATH and other stuff removed from it in the osgeo4w version:

mswindows/GRASS-Installer.nsi

FileWrite $0 '# Set the PYTHONPATH variable$\r$\n'
FileWrite $0 'PYTHONPATH="$$GISBASE/etc/python:$$GISBASE/Python25:$$PYTHONPATH"$\r$\n'
FileWrite $0 'export PYTHONPATH$\r$\n'
FileWrite $0 'PYTHONHOME="$INSTALL_DIR\Python25"$\r$\n'
FileWrite $0 'export PYTHONHOME$\r$\n'

e.g. the instructions at ​https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows suggest to use them. (even though users doing that would have already set the new paths themselves as part of the build ...)

c:\osgeo4w\apps\grass\bin\grass64 (.sh) has had PYTHONPATH and other stuff removed from it in the osgeo4w version:

Sorry, I speak terrible lies. No such thing has been done. There was a bug in Init.sh that was blocking PYTHONPATH from getting set. Now fixed in SVN.

see ​http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/623

and today's UPDATES: ​https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows

(r.li's Makefile now fixed, etc...)

Is this still an issue?

I'm not sure, the OSGeo4W GRASS build hasn't been updated since 14 Oct 2009.
