I've just finished adding instructions to the Wiki page for compiling grass-6.5.svn (develbranch_6) and grass-7.0.svn (trunk). Please test.

This still has to be done externally in notepad, notepad++ or some other text editor (I'm not touching instructions for vim!). > By the way, I remember that almost on my case I needed to incluide > to extra steps before start GRASS > > GRASS_WISH=/c/OSGeo4W/bin/wish.exe > export GRASS_WISH > cd /c/OSGeo4W/apps/grass/bin > grass6 Is this a problem specific to xp/vista 64-bit? Can you give us more details on the error messages you receive? I believe the setting of GRASS_WISH should be handled by etc/Init.sh. So if this isn't working on x64 this should be fixed. > Finally, now I get grass65 and not grass64, so I suggest update this.
