#693: wxGUI menus: i.ortho.photo locks up GUI ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hamish | Owner: grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: wxGUI | Version: svn-develbranch6 Resolution: | Keywords: i.ortho.photo Platform: All | Cpu: x86-64 ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by hamish):
Replying to [comment:20 cmbarton]: > This works, but there is not much point to the change. Calling > d.mon just has the Terminal start xterm. If there is no xterm > package, it will fail non-gracefully. > > To avoid an xterm, we need to run the grass-xterm-mac wrapper > for d.mon, not the text prompt/response interface. ? d.mon doesn't go near an xterm. it just starts the x0 display window. the xterm (or xterm-alike) is launched later. $GRASS_UI_TERM is set to avoid the curses based text window "TUI" ending up as broken rubbish in the tcl/wx module GUI output window. The question/response parser stuff is just an unfortuante byproduct of that. > You can try to switch it or I can try later this week. I already have changed it to try the mac wrapper (in 6.5). Q: how to get wxgui.py to detect Cygwin so that does try an xterm instead of a "start" dos box? is there a $CYGWIN enviro var or similar? os.* or sys.* smart enough to pick it up? > I agree about the greyout for Windows users. I think it can be > done but need to figure out how. worst case a patch could be applied as part of the mswindows packaging script.
