MINSYS not MSYS

comment:2 by wonder, 18 years ago

Summary: Windows package misses some GRASS related files → Missing files in windows version

Moved from ticket #317:

  • developers photos in the Help>Info>Developers

btw. it's MSYS not MINSYS ;-) see ​http://www.mingw.org/

I am using windows 2000.

When I work with QGIS 0.8 preview 1, I can use the GRASS shell, but I am unable to open it in the QGIS 0.8 preview 2. Is there anything I have to add to keep using preview 2 with the GRASS shell?

Must Fix for Release: → No
Owner: changed from gsherman to timlinux

Update (test build from 29.november 2006):

  • AUTHORS and SPONSORS file must be copied to share/qgis/doc/ directory
  • with Qt 4.2.0 it did't load developer photos - with Qt 4.2.1 it worked for me
  • new picture of Denis Antipov should be used - previous was XPM with JPG extensions and windows Qt has a problem with that (fixed in r6182)
  • manual for GRASS are present but don't show up in manual tab in grass toolbox
  • grass shell fails to start: msys.bat doesn't like to be installed in path with spaces. What about running directly rxvt or sh?
  • MSYS distribution could be smaller: most commands are not going to be used (ps, mount, vim ...)

Connect button in SPIT is always deactivated.

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

There are too many separate issues identified throughout this bug report. The initial issues are solved, as are most of the ones subsequently mentioned in the comments. Connect button is disabled because connects are automatic. Why it shows up on the dialog I'm not sure.

Please file a separate ticket for each issue (you can use one ticket for closely related issues, like the original purpose of this ticket).
