Hello,
For all fearless Wingrass users, I would like to share a solution for
the following bug ...."many shell scripts do not work, even if you
enable correctly msys and include LIB and BIN paths in the PATH windows
variable............" (from the readme file at the wingrass webpage).
PROBLEM - Long story short, g.mlist gave me errors because it did not
fine "sed" and other executables, therefore scripts like g.mlist and
g.mremove do not work
SOLUTION -
1 - open the "Init.bat" file located in the
"<grassinstallationdirectory>/grass-6.3.xxx/*etc*" ... do not use
notepad but a better editor that recognizes unix formatted text
2 - add the line below *after* the ..........if not
"%GRASS_ADDON_PATH%"==...................... line (should be line 29)
set PATH=/c/msys/1.0/bin;%PATH%
3 - of course /c/msys/1.0/bin is the path to the bin directory of
msys, if yours is different, adapt.
4 - start grass and try.
As mentioned int he README: "in order for shell scripts to work, you
will have to add msys' lib and bin directories to your path in the
grass63.bat file."
So, no need to fiddle with Init.bat, just add it in grass63.bat:
set PATH=%PATH+;c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\msys\1.0\lib
The information used to be in the .bat file, but we decided to take it
out in the effort of making wingrass independent of msys. But seeing the
many reactions on this, I think I will add it again.
