== Overview ==

GRASS GIS has been ported to MS-Windows (NT, 2000 Professional, XP, Vista, Windows7) using the [http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ cygwin] tools. The source code is identical to the UNIX version as the GRASS source code is rather platform independent. If you want to compile yourself, we recommend to get the latest GRASS sources from our [http://grass.osgeo.org/devel/svn.php SVN server]. For questions, please contact the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-windows WinGRASS mailing list].

The classic graphical output screen (based on XDRIVER) has been the major problem to port GRASS 6. The system is now working with the XFree86 Server or the StarNet X-Win Server as well as the generic MS-Windows driver.

We are searching for developers and testers to assist in finalizing the GRASS-Windows port: If you are (somewhat) experienced, join the [http://grass.osgeo.org/devel/ development team] to speed up the port. If you have questions or want to discuss the development, please subscribe to the winGRASS mailing list (see above). Before reporting bugs to the list, please visit the [http://grass.osgeo.org/bugtracking/ bug reporting system] and read the manuals and old posts to the mailing lists.
