Ok Markus. I'm sorry for pressing... My hope is to do not have a broken community around this issues. I would like to come to a common thought, and work for a coherent and clear roadmap. Probably it's me (and the users) that don't have it clear, while it is for all of the developers: who is doing w

Jachym, I have to echo what Michael is saying about the Windows installer. In a government enterprise environment, I doubt the present osgeo installation format would be accepted. A stand-alone msi package would be better. Another question with the osgeo installer, would the installation of th

Anyway, IIUC Glynn and Jurgen: the problem on mixing MSVC and MinGW built things (at C level) is just a problem of a clean memory management (malloc/free). So, my question is: would changing the build system (GNU make -> cmake) solve this? Or they're unrelated things? 2009/3/27 G. Allegri : > Ok

Thanks Jef. So, fixing the memory issues in grass code isn't avoidable. I'll go on with this (after g.proj, db binaries, v.in.ogr, etc.), because probably this will solve the problems that users are facing from within QGis (various crashes when using the grass plugin). So the real limitation for th
